President
I own a company focused on indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and fossil-free air source heat pump installation.
There is no typical day for me. That said, each day will contain some kind of research, reading about a new technology or product, and working on being a better boss. A lot of my day is focused on spreading building science education to my coworkers, either formally or informally. For example, sometimes I'll visit a job site and gauge an employee's knowledge on why they're doing what they're doing. I also take calls and interviews in effort to educate the public on our mission.
Here's the first step for everyone
Focus on learning a trade that you're passionate about and that can help save the planet. That can mean becoming an electrician who works toward energy efficiency or it can mean becoming a software engineer who creates a new sustainability-focused product. You don't necessarily need to go to college to do so. Find the right path for you personally to learn that trade. I'm self-taught, which worked out well for me because I was able to build my knowledge and experience myself from the ground up.
