We are closing in on our pre-production prototype and I am lucky to have a great staff in operations. As part of the company goal to provide jobs for veterans three of the four members of our operations department have served their country. My VP of Operations was a Lt Commander with the Navy and managed a 7MW floating power plant and has a masters degree in systems engineering. He is well suited to implementing smart/microgrids with distributed energy sources like small wind and solar and has been instrumental in getting us from earlier prototypes to the production model.
We also have a former helicopter mechanic from the Army (you can imagine how he comes in handy with a turbine like the LIM) and a grunt from the Marine Corp (yes, my grunt). Last, but not least we just added a fourth member to operations who has had a dream of working in wind energy since he was 15. Am very proud of my staff and wanted to give them all a shout out.
