Get to Know Steve

I am a St. Louis native with an engineering degree from The University of Missouri at Rolla (now Missouri S&T). My curiosity for how innovative technology can uplift communities has led me into technical sales for the past 30 years. For 10 years now, I’ve helped run TEDxStLouis, driven by a mission to create an inclusive and equitable community of life learners in the St. Louis region. The intersection of these two experiences brought me to work extensively with commercial scale customers and Illinois Solar for All, a state program that benefits income-eligible and environmental justice communities in Illinois.

“Moore’s Law” which describes the logarithmic speed of technological change we are all experiencing. The “Diffusion of Innovation” which tells the story of how new technology is accepted by a society. And the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in late 2022 are three things that have me convinced that solar is here to stay.

I did not expect how happy and proud people would become upon deciding to ‘Go Solar’. Mark T., my very first customer, actually did a little jig when the array was activated, a modern day sun dance.

Always striving to work collaboratively, I look forward to creating a free assessment to determine if solar makes sense for you and your mission (for profit or no for profit).
