What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in renewable energy development while fostering strong relationships and driving impactful projects.

I am a highly professional individual with over 13 years of proven performance in the energy industry, specializing in renewable energy land acquisition and project development. My extensive experience includes leading successful land acquisition efforts for a multitude of international and domestic developers, focusing on projects ranging from 1-5MW distributed generation solar to 130-350MW utility-scale wind and solar projects across various states and provinces.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in managing relationships with diverse stakeholders, overseeing project tasks from inception to completion, and ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements. My skills also encompass generating essential documentation, directing GIS and planning departments, and providing comprehensive assessments to inform landowner compensation structures. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with clients and internal teams, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within budget.
