Summary

I have over 20 years experience working in the renewables industry. In 2010, I had the pleasure of working on the first fully LEED hotel in San Antonio. The Holiday Inn Sea World, I transitioned to a luxury green home builder where I became truly passionate about all things sustainable. In 2015, realized a dream and opened my own business. Sustain helping home and business owners become more energy efficient with commercial solar being the primary focus. Sustain sold over megawatts of solar with a large portion of that being in San Antonio. With San Antonio ranking in the nation for solar energy capacity and in Texas for solar within city limits, I'm proud to have been a part of that monumental accomplishment. I joined Big Sun Solar in 2018 to help sell their commercial solar services to businesses across Texas.
