Lanyap Solar (formerly Galusha Solar)

My journey to solar has been nonlinear. I spent a year in college before leaving to fulfill my dream of becoming a Marine. Unfortunately, it was during Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and my enlistment was cut short. After college I worked for NASA as an instructor, teaching flight controllers and astronauts how to work the electrical and thermal systems on the space station. Then I moved on to the oil and gas industry, which wasn't exactly ideal for an environmentalist but I learned a lot. When I was laid off, I knew I didn't want to remain in oil and gas. I formed Galusha Solar in 2017. In 2022, I joined forces with Lanyap Solar and remain focused on the technical aspects of solar, including design, procurement, and project management. 

My wife and I have been together since 1999 and had our daughter in 2015. In my free time I write Sapphic romance novels and am a screenwriter.
