So how did I get this way?

It all started when graduating from college I took a job in the electric power industry and loved it! (Yeah, in addition to being an energy heretic, I’m also an energy geek.) In fact, I enjoyed the field so much that I went back to school for a masters degree in Energy Management and Environmental Policy. During the course of my career, I’ve worked on:

• Power plant design.
• Integrated resource planning.
• Plant operational studies.
• Public sector strategic planning and budgeting.
• Database application development.
• Power price forecasting.
• Merchant plant development.
• Generation asset transactions.
• Energy purchases and sales (wholesale and retail).
• Transmission planning.
• Facility condition assessments and valuations (transmission and generation).
• Energy supply security studies.
• Government regulatory process.
• Electric reliability standards.
• Compliance audits and investigations.

That’s 22 years of professional experience. For more specifics, you can check out my LinkedIn profile.

You can also follow my live heresy through Twitter @EnergyHeretic.

At the moment, I’m building a freelance energy consulting practice. If you could benefit from consulting a heretic, please contact me directly.
