Throughout his 25-plus-year career in clean energy, Joe has built deep expertise in strategic energy planning, business development, team building and management, marketing and communications, and workforce development and training to accelerate our transition to a
sustainable and just energy future. At 7Skyline, he supports the planning, funding, development, and implementation of energy projects for both Tribal and corporate project partners, frequently serving as an owner’s representative. Within the past two years, he has secured more than $8 million in energy project funding for Tribes in North America.

A graduate of the University of Oregon, Joe began his energy industry training at Solar Energy International in 1995 and worked as a renewable energy system designer and installer in Oregon and California. In 2008, he assembled and led the team that created and launched SolarPro, the U.S. solar industry's bar-setting trade publication for more than a decade. During its run, SolarPro facilitated the exchange of expertly informed technical content among industry stakeholders and played a pivotal role in scaling the U.S. solar-plus-storage industry.

Leveraging his background in business and technical publishing, Joe has demonstrated his
ability to initiate and streamline energy project development and deployment. He has supported
equipment manufacturers and solar-plus-storage engineering firms, including Mayfield Renewables, with market research, product and service positioning strategies, and the development of industry-leading training materials and technical content.

Joe lives in Ashland, Oregon, where he and his wife Emily operate a grid-connected solar system that offsets 100% of the energy consumption of their all-electric home and electric vehicles. Refer to LinkedIn for further details about Joe’s background and experience.
