My role as an SST member is to be actively involved in the Goal Zero process by maintaining what is working well and supporting new initiatives.

Safety is extremely important to me. There are two quotes that I lead safety with: “Culture is what leads when no one is watching,” and “carefulness costs you nothing, carelessness may cost you your life.”
