Paul is a native New Englander from Laconia, New Hampshire. Paul received a BBA in business administration from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. Paul - then living in Washington, D.C. started in the energy and solar industry in the late 1980's before the present solar electric Grid Tied market existed. The only solar market was evolving out west and Paul moved west in the1990's and started his own solar contracting business. Seeing a lot of solar potential in the high desert and loving all that Central Oregon has to offer, Paul opened an solar off-grid and RV solar company in Redmond in the late 1990's. Once grid tied solar evolved, Paul moved his operations to Bend, Oregon. Sunlight Solar was one of the first grid tied solar electric companies in the U.S., in Oregon and certainly in Central, Oregon. Paul was one of the first individuals to become a Licensed Renewable Energy Technician (LRT) in the state of Oregon. Additionally, Sunlight Solar was the third Solar Trade Ally designated by the Energy Trust of Oregon. In his 40+ years in the solar industry, Paul has overseen and managed megawatts of solar electric design and installation throughout the United States including the installation on the Oregon State Capitol. He also served a 2-year term as the President of the Board of Directors for OSEIA (Oregon Solar Energy Industry Association). Paul is the person responsible for the overall management of the company.
