A Pioneer in Sustainable Fishing Philanthropy. America's only sustainable fishing charity, F3G, is a groundbreaking organization dedicated to feeding the less fortunate for free. Established as a 501c3, F3G collects unwanted sport-caught pelagic fish from fishermen and distributes it to local charities, providing thousands with nutritious meals. Overcoming regulatory challenges, F3G has become a model for sustainable philanthropy, partnering with fishing communities and charitable organizations to make a significant impact. Partnering charities include: the Ronald McDonald House Charities, San Diego Food Bank, San Diego Rescue Mission, Urban Angels, PATH Connections Housing, Kitchens for Good, Samoa Independent, Two Woman Shelters, Imperial Valley Food Bank, Project 1:1, Dreams for Change, Jewish Family Services and Father Joe’s Villages. The charity's efforts have been featured in television and radio interviews, and a KPBS documentary showcased its work. Through its innovative approach, F3G annually provides over 80,000 individuals, nutritious fish meals, demonstrating the power of sustainable fishing to address hunger and support communities in need.

After selling OilTech, I returned to the solar industry with renewed enthusiasm. I was honored to join Baker as their first new hire in three years. As a co-founder of CollectiveSun, I had a proven track record of helping nonprofits transition to solar energy. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to bring my expertise to the commercial market in Southern California. In addition to sales, I also contributed to marketing and business development initiatives.

Committed to advancing sustainability in Louisville, I joined the biofuel industry. By implementing innovative sales and marketing strategies, modernizing operations, and aligning goals with a sustainable business plan, I disrupted the sector's status quo. I fostered strategic partnerships and created unique marketing opportunities that not only enhanced the company's reputation but also significantly increased its value. This work directly contributed to Louisville's environmental goals and the growth of a sustainable energy sector.Within my first week, I launched a groundbreaking initiative to promote the recycling of used cooking oil (UCO) in Louisville. This innovative approach, which was featured in local television and radio interviews, aimed to address the issue of UCO being improperly disposed of in drains and landfills. One year later, this initiative gained significant traction and was formalized into a partnership with the City of Louisville. This collaboration provided residents with convenient recycling options for their used cooking oil, including permanent drop-off locations and a YouTube infomercial. At the end of my first year, I had increased the number of new clients by 66%! Within 1.5 years, I increased the valuation of Oil-Tech, and sold it to a competitor for a significantly higher EBITDA multiplier than was expected!

As the driving force behind CollectiveSun's mission to revolutionize solar energy for nonprofits, I spearheaded a comprehensive transformation. I replaced the company's regional focus with a proactive, nationwide strategy, repositioning CollectiveSun as a leading provider of solar financing for nonprofits. By creating unique partnerships with organizations like EnergySage and Greenworks Lending, I expanded our reach. To further solidify our market position, I lobbied for the inclusion of nonprofits as a distinct solar classification in industry standards and guidelines. My contributions to organizations like the Clean Energy States Alliance and my leadership of webinars helped educate stakeholders about our innovative Solar Power Agreement (SPA). My role extended beyond strategy to execution. I hired and trained sales teams, redesigned all marketing materials, and served as the company spokesperson. I authored articles that appeared in: enerG and generated interest from media that led to stories in: Forbes, Renewable Energy World, Solar Power World, etc. I significantly increased market share that generated over $25 million in sales.

This includes crafting informative evergreen content, showcasing captivating photos, and a dynamic blog that entices anglers and their families to experience San Diego's diverse fishing opportunities. www.sandiego.org
