Business Comments: I'm currently a senior technical support specialist for Morningstar Corporation and represent them on the Wrenches List. Over the past 305+ years, in addition to operating my company Four Winds, I have been a NABCEP Certified Small Wind and PV installer, an Eligible Installer for the NY PV and wind incentive programs and co-chair of the NABCEP small wind technical review and exam committees. I'm a past board member of the Small Wind Certification Council (SWCC) and the Distributed Wind Energy Association (DWEA). There's even more, but the message here is that I volunteered for WAY too much stuff! Since starting work full time at Morningstar I wound my business down and am now just supporting existing systems. We generate most of our own power at Four Winds for both home and business using a 3400 watt solar array and a Whisper H1500 wind turbine. OffgriddenGruven! Last Updated: Oct 9, 2025
