Bio
Terry Proffer
I had the pleasure of working with Joel during his drilling career, as a co-board member at CoGEHPA and as a colleague at Major. He is a great asset and true professional. He clearly understood the variables involved with the business side of ground source heat pump design and execution, and was responsible for ramping up our business at Major. Joel has no ego; if he did not know an answer to a question he found the answer through persistent due diligence. Joel also has the unique ability to condense the challenges involved with a project and identify what needs to be done to get things done, from business to technical, typically with multiple, viable options.
Leslie Martel Baer
Joel is both an astute business man and technically savvy. I have worked with him on projects related to thermal renewable energy policy and geothermal heat pumps in particular. Joel is always able to develop detailed technical and financial models to support a given pathway and, in working meetings, is quick with a clear, concise verbal argument explaining why a given technology will or won't work in a given situation. Or, for that matter, why a given financial approach works with a particular technology. Joel is at home working out details in a spreadsheet or thinking about long-term energy strategy. He is responsive, quick thinking yet thoughtful, and I highly recommend him in energy analysis and strategy rolls.
Brandon Rattiner
Joel's insight into geothermal energy issues is immense and his guidance has been hugely helpful. Whenever I have had questions on the logistics, technology or policies relevant to his area of expertise, Joel has been prompt and thorough in his responses. He has been a critical ally for the cleantech community and our office.
