Location: 300 Cranberry Highway, Orleans, MA 02653
Place of birth: Boston
Family: Married 17 years with twin boys age 17 & a 7 year old son

First job unrelated to your current field: Construction management at J.K. Scanlan Co. in Falmouth working on public and private projects for 5 years.
First job in current field: Solar system design, wind turbine site feasibility
What your firm does now and its plans for the future? SunWind is planning to expand its operations to large scale solar systems. We are interested in working with business owners in Massachusetts with large roofs and land owners with parcels from 5 acres or larger for the development of utility scale solar systems.
Hobbies: Watching my twin boys play football at Nauset High School and coaching my youngest son at the Pop Warner level.
Keys to success: Education is the key to taking these projects from conception to completion. Once the client has been educated about the various incentives they see that solar is a great way to diversify their portfolio and provides a revenue stream for years to many years to come.
