He pioneered the commercial rooftop solar lease structure that has now become the industry standard and is considered one of the preeminent legal experts on the national expansion of front-of-meter solar energy models.

It now employs over 300 employees in 20 states across the country. The company was named Inc. Magazine’s Best in Business in 2024 and the #1 Distributed Generation developer by New Project Media.
