What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior individual-contributor or sales leadership role in distributed energy, microgrids, resilient on-site power, battery storage, critical power, or adjacent clean-energy infrastructure, where I can drive pipeline creation, strategic account growth, and contracted revenue.

At Oak Electric, I’ve generated more than $21 million in cumulative sales across solar PV, battery storage, standby generators, EV charging, electrical upgrades, and resiliency solutions. I was the company’s #1 Sales Producer in 2025, and I guide customer opportunities from technical needs assessment through proposal, negotiation, and project handoff.

At Solar Universe, I ranked among the strongest producers across its network and built an outbound cold-call operation, including recruiting and training personnel and developing scripts and lead-management processes. I also founded GenHaven Homes LLC, a Michigan-licensed residential construction company, and bring hands-on field experience to energy projects that must move from concept to execution.
