Project Manager Business Developer

In 2002, our founders hatched an idea to create a vehicle for clean renewable energy in the Midwest, with the purpose to encourage decisions that create a sustainable world for the next seven generations. Seventh Generation Systems Integration (SGES) came from that vision and began the trek to educate citizens through the implementation of renewable energy systems.

As we grew in numbers and experience, we worked diligently to build the networks to support our mission. The Midwest Renewable Energy Association and Focus on Energy played a significant role in supporting our efforts. We are recognized as a trailblazer in the growth of renewable energy in the Midwest. To date, we have developed a strong client base and organizational presence.
