I am a passionate energy and sustainability professional driven to leave the world better than we found it. Over the last twelve years I've dedicated my career to mitigating climate change, including working in the solar industry, serving as energy manager to a Fortune 100 business, and most recently developing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects for a wide range of clients in both the public and private sectors. In my personal time I volunteer to build and maintain multi-use trails and also helped lead a grassroots land conservation campaign. The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI. I strongly believe in diversity, equity, and inclusion and enjoy volunteering with Eagle Mount's adaptive recreation program to help participants with different backgrounds and ability levels enjoy skiing, rock climbing, and cycling. Working with Eagle Mount has taught me to appreciate the opportunities I have been afforded in life and to value the chance to help others overcome challenges they face in order to realize their full potential.
