My campaign is based on wanting to give back to our community and helping to strengthen our electric cooperative.

I’m a tech entrepreneur with more than 15 years of experience working with utilities, highlighted by building LiveData Utilities and leading its acquisition by Oracle. At Oracle, I worked with utilities of all sizes to modernize their operations, and I’d welcome the opportunity to bring that experience to NHEC. I’ve served on public, private, and nonprofit boards, and currently serve as 2nd Vice Chair of the Edison Electric Institute OT Subgroup.

If elected, I will ensure that while technology is an important tool, it’s not the end goal. My priorities for the Co op are:

• Affordable Energy: Affordable, reliable power for every NHEC member; not just those who can install rooftop solar. Energy costs are skyrocketing, so maintaining affordable electricity will take strong, innovative support from the board, and is a top priority
• Grid Resilience: Hardening the network so the lights stay on, 24/7
• Transparency: Allowing greater access to data for members, to ensure a stronger Co op
• Distributed Energy Resources: Renewables, battery storage, and microgrids that improve resilience, reduce peak demand, and lower costs
• Disciplined Technology Adoption: Smart investments that align with long term financial and strategic goals
• Broadband: Strengthening our community by enabling fast Wi-Fi and supporting more reliable electric service with new electric poles, but also requiring fiscal discipline
