For over three decades, I’ve been deeply ingrained in the water industry, traversing the intricate paths of responsible water management. As a small business owner, I’ve gained a unique vantage point, shaped by two contrasting environments: the arid climate of Colorado, where water is a precious commodity, and the coastal expanse of Florida, where water surrounds the peninsula, bringing both beauty and formidable challenges.

In the arid landscapes of Colorado, I’ve witnessed firsthand the significance of responsible water usage. It’s a place where wells run dry, and water conservation isn’t just a buzzword but a way of life. Living here, the value of every drop of water became strikingly apparent.

In contrast, my time in Florida brought me face to face with the overwhelming power of water, often in the form of hurricanes. These natural disasters wreaked havoc, flooding homes and communities, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Witnessing the aftermath, I couldn’t help but contemplate the sheer volume of resources required for cleanup and rebuilding.

Adding another layer to this story, my father-in-law, a veteran in the energy industry for over 50 years, has played a significant role. His expertise in Nuclear power has provided invaluable insights into the clean energy sector, deepening my understanding of the intricate web of energy resources.

Recognizing and wholeheartedly embracing the connection between water and energy is vital if we are to forge a future where our energy choices align with the boundaries of our precious natural resources. With Clean Green Energy, my mission endures—to serve as a beacon of education, illuminating the critical interplay between water and energy. Through this illumination, we aim to contribute to a cleaner, greener world, where sustainability is not just a concept but a way of life—one that respects the delicate balance between our diverse environments and the resources they provide.

My driving force to create a sustainability educational resource on Clean Green Energy is rooted in the belief that if not me, then who? If I can learn and change my thinking around the diversification of resources and energy, then so can you. Why change the way you think and live? Well, I have kids, and I value the land in which I live. I love the mountains of Colorado and the oceans and wildlife of coastal living. I have realized it is time to stop taking this planet for granted and start making an impact. It’s a journey we must embark on together for the sake of our planet and the generations to come.
