I have served as an Educator and a Public Speaker since 2009, both as a lecturer and seminar leader at the University, as well as a presenter at conferences, institutes, special events, educational forums, businesses and non-profits. Using PRECISION, ECONOMY AND INTEGRITY, my lectures and presentations are designed to:

- The Power of Small Numbers: Why Citizen Action Is Just As Important as Public Policy and Clean Technology
- Energy & Economy: Two Fundamental Value Systems
