Experience Engineering Design Taylor Engineering Alameda CA 2009 Present Engineering design energy modeling and commissioning of innovative high-efficiency building mechanical systems Energy Efficiency Engineering Cogent Energy Concord CA 2007 2009 Managed and performed commissioning of existing and new commercial and institutional buildings and campuses Reviewed new building designs for energy efficiency and sustainability opportunities and presented results to clients Performed field inspections and testing analyzed trend data identified energy conservation measures developed and performed functional tests estimated energy savings using custom-built spreadsheet models wrote and presented reports to clients Engineering Design Stantec Consulting San Francisco CA 2006 2007 Provided conceptual and analytical design support to green building projects for client architects and building owners Used building energy models to estimate heating/cooling loads and energy consumption of new and existing buildings Performed tradeoff analyses to identify most financially and environmentally beneficial energy strategies to meet specific goals Advised colleagues on renewable energy options for a variety of projects Engineering & Business Development Cooperative Community Energy Sebastopol CA 2001 2005 Worked as a self-directed independent contractor for this nonprofit photovoltaic buyers' cooperative Designed sold engineered and managed installation of large PV systems for municipal school and commercial applications Developed renewable energy and energy efficiency consulting services for developers and commercial/institutional clients Wrote Excel/VBA tools to predict PV performance and payback and trained and supported sales force in use of these tools Sole author of proposal for Solar Sebastopol an award-winning municipal partnership to promote in-town solar installations Elected to the Board of Directors in 2005 Permaculture Farming Sebastopol & Berkeley CA 2003 Present Raised organic berries apples and rabbits for local sale as co-proprietor of Kokopelli Farm in Sebastopol Restored fallow land and cultivated extensive gardens of annuals perennials and herbs for personal use and to observe firsthand the interaction of natural processes within a living system Continuing to raise chickens rabbits and annual and perennial crops in backyard urban farm in Berkeley Mechanical Design and Project Management 1995 2001 Designed mechanical products including assembly tooling test fixtures and high voltage electrical connectors for several different companies. Responsibilities included establishing project specifications developing test procedures and streamlining manufacturing processes. A highlight was two years with the Rotary Rocket Company in Mojave CA developing high-pressure rocket engine combustors for this (now defunct) VC-funded space launch startup. I was responsible for engineering development validating the design with thermal and structural experts vendor selection and coordinating prototype hardware fabrication on an extremely tight development schedule. Driven by a growing awareness that we are destroying the basis of our own prosperity I reprioritized my career in 2001 to focus on sustainability. Relevant Skills and Abilities Possess broad and deep knowledge of renewable energy green building and environmentally sound technologies and practices Highly skilled at problem definition and creatively incorporating ecological principles and systems into a holistic design solution Excellent written and verbal communication skills able to concisely summarize and explain costs and benefits of different options
