Bio
John Schaeffer
I worked with Raph for six years when he was a sales technician at Real Goods in our Boulder, CO, office. I was President and Raph did sales and customer support. While I didn't supervise him directly, I had frequent contact with him. I was always very impressed at his attention to detail and his extreme customer service focus. I received many compliments unsolicited from customers who were impressed with Raph's care and drive to keep customers happy. He is very smart, a quick study, understands off-grid and grid-tie solar impeccably, and I recommend Raph for any position that he may seek. He is a pleasure to work with.

Few people have the opportunity to report to a manager who is also a coach and mentor, but I did when I worked for Raphael. I had the pleasure of working with Raphael for over two years at Real Goods Solar | RGS Energy, selling renewable energy solar panels to customers nationwide. Raphael’s ability to juggle multiple projects and manage a team of 20 plus was unlike any I have seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. Any employee would be lucky to have Raphael as a manager and colleague.
