Objective

I am interested in a position in the area of energy conservation, efficiency, clean, alternative

and renewable energy with a focus on the practical application of technology in these areas.

This would include but not be limited to design, installation, commissioning, servicing,

maintenance and operation of clean energy technology. I have an undergraduate degree in

mechanical engineering and am willing to accept an entry level position or paid internship with

the opportunity for potential career growth.

Although my interest is in the above area, I spent much of my last ten years since college

pursuing my love of the outdoors while fine tuning customer skills in the service industry in

Colorado, Montana, Alaska and Washington State. Now want to combine customer service

skills, technical background with environmental interests.
