About Steve
Steve's four year old startup (when
is it no longer a startup?) continues to focus on
smart meter analysis for residential energy efficiency.
This business effort meshes very well with Steve's
concerns about climate change.
Lots of progress in 2012: two major
contracts were completed with excellent results, and two
new contracts were won right at the end of the year -- and
the new ones don't involve any stimulus funds.
The company is still quite lean: Lisa and
Steve are the only full time employees, but another dozen
or so part time contractors provide critical expertise. We
are currently the leaders in the field of residential
smart meter data analysis, having analyzed over 1600
homes, and we hope to stay there.
This effort took up most of Steve's time & energy during 2012. Below are a few other highlights.
Steve had to recall how to tie a tie during a visit to a
White House event related to smart meter data analysis.
But if the new company doesn't work out he's still keeping
his other career option open: he got to try out his truck
driving skills this summer, and Eric let him drive his new
school bus in December.
sisters who visited us in the Spring.
What a happy family!
And during their visit he roped them into helping with his
most recent art project: the CD mobile.
He cut down trees in Lampasas with Eric...
And did a "Color Me Rad" run with Justine. Below is the "before" picture; here is the "after" picture.
Steve kept active this year and still runs, bikes, hikes, fixes things and -- only occasionally -- gets on a horse.
