Our People

Andrew was born and raised in Downeast, Maine and received a BA in Environmental Policy and Economics from Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Andrew’s hobbies include surfing, climbing, trail running, fishing, and he loves to read…EVERYTHING! He enjoys traveling and experiencing new cultures and has a passion for helping protect public lands.

Andrew was a chef and restaurateur for over 17 years in Blue Hill, Maine. His family business includes two restaurants, a catering division, and a small brewery. The property sources goods from over 40 farms, fishermen, and foragers within the surrounding community. His family believes local, small business and agricultural serve as the building blocks for rural communities.

Andrew began his clean energy journey in 2012, when he and his brother started Maine’s First Solar Powered Micro Brewery in Blue Hill. While a novel idea at the time, they helped pave the way for the state’s booming craft beer industry.

In 2018, he joined ReVision Energy as a co-Owner and Solar Design Specialist working with folks to achieve their Clean Energy Goals and help reduce carbon emissions throughout New England. Over the past four years, Andrew has designed over 350 Solar Electric, Battery Storage, and Air Source Heat Pump Systems for homeowners across Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. He lives in South Portland with his partner Annika and their one-year-old son Larkin. Their fully electric home relies on (2) Minisplit Heat Pumps for Heating and Cooling, a Heat Pump Water Heater for domestic hot water, and a 7.2kW Solar Array.

Calen brings a broad interest in sustainability to ReVision Energy. After growing up in New England, then spending 6 years in San Francisco helping the local Boys & Girls Clubs become greener, he now enjoys helping Mainers find ways to lighten their impact on the environment. He lives in Portland in a house with 29 solar panels and 3 heat pumps installed, which keep him comfortable, and keep his costs and carbon impact low.

The passion he has for his work comes from a belief that solving climate change is the most urgent issue of our time. He studied music at St. Michael’s College, and spends his free time writing songs and playing guitar in a local folk/rock band.

Cole brings to ReVision a passion for the environment and a solution-based mindset. He attended St. Lawrence University, where he studied Environmental Studies with a focus on water policy. Every summer, he would leave New York and come to Maine to lead trips on the St. Croix, Moosehead Lake, West and East Branches of the Penobscot, Allagash Wilderness Waterway, and Baxter State Park with Kieve Wavus Education.
Cole joined ReVision Energy in February 2022 after five years of teaching skiing and guiding fly fishing in Wyoming. Cole and his wife Sasha live in Scarborough with their son. They have solar panels and a heat pump from ReVision that they enjoy every day. 

Dana (she/her) spends her time at ReVision Energy as a Solar Design Specialist. Dana originally sought out ReVision for their impressive efforts as a BCorp, their reputable commitment to excellent customer service, and their robust community involvement. She is committed to working with companies that better the planet and is happiest when she can contribute to a driven, collaborative, and forward-thinking workplace. For many years prior to ReVision, Dana worked with Patagonia where she learned how to walk-the-talk in carrying out a company’s ambitious, environmentally focused mission. The renewable energy world was new to her as she is a forever student of marine sciences and human impact on the oceans.

Dana attended school in Rhode Island for degrees in Psychology and Marine Biology and pursued a master’s in Organizational Leadership before traveling by land and water working with non-profit organizations, spending a couple years in Boston, and finally ending up in Maine in 2016. Having grown up tied to the ocean, from a trans-Pacific sailor to a Peaks-to-Portland swim competitor, she has committed her life to working to protect the places we play in and rely on.

When not at work, you can find Dana tending to her small oyster farm, Sister Island Oysters, outside somewhere on the water or in the woods, oil painting, cooking, running, or working with some of her favorite nonprofit partners. She is thrilled to be part of the great mission and team at ReVision for years to come!

Raised just outside of Pittsburgh, PA, David graduated with a B.A. in Anthropology from Penn State University. After graduation, he hit the road with some friends and ended up in Colorado. In Denver, he spent some time in graduate school where his work focused on the health issues of a marginalized population.

Living in Colorado for 18 years gave David a healthy appreciation for the outdoors. He loves to hike, snowboard, and golf; he’s even got a few “14er’s” under his belt. Colorado is also where he met his wife which is how he ended up in Maine. David has traded his snowboard in for family life. He now lives in Windham, ME and enjoys his days spending as much time as possible with his wife and 2 kids.

David joined the ReVision team in early 2017. He works on the sales & design team helping Mainers kick the oil habit and power their homes on sunshine. He is currently upgrading the systems in his own home to kick the habit himself. He will soon be heating and cooling his home with a multi-split heat pump system with 2 indoor heads and heating his water with a heat pump water heater.

Erik grew up in Rhode Island and spent his summers in Midcoast Maine teaching sailing, working on a lobster boat, and being on the ocean as much as possible. After graduating from the University of Maine at Farmington, where he developed a fondness for the mountains, he took his Business Degree and headed west to Lake Tahoe, CA in search of powder (and maybe a little employment as well).

After two winters in Lake Tahoe, family, friends, and the “real world” drew Erik back to the East Coast where he moved to Portland, ME. His love for boats and the ocean acquired him a job living and working on tugboats in New York City for two weeks at a time when he wasn’t in Portland.

After developing a strong interest in renewable energy and realizing that the tugboat life wasn’t an ideal fit, Erik found a little company called Revision Energy in Portland and was hired as an installer in 2008. He quickly learned that working among great, like minded people and really believing in the work that you are doing is a very powerful thing! Erik spent the next 7 years as an installer and Project Manager focusing mainly on Solar Thermal & Heat Pump installations.

Erik is now a Solar Design Specialist where he helps homeowners reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and understand the many benefits of going solar.

In his free time you can find him on the ocean in the summertime, on his snowboard in the winter, spending time outdoors with his wife Mercedes, daughter Faye, dog Bunsen, and tending to the never ending list of projects around the house.

Erik Mitchell’s Energy System

Erik resides in Brunswick, ME where he utilizes most of the products that Revision Energy has to offer. Heat comes from a combination of Fujitsu and Mitsubishi Air Source Heat Pumps and a Napoleon wood stove. The domestic hot water is heated 75% of the year by two flat plate solar hot water collectors on the roof. The electric bill is taken care of by a 7.8 KW PV system. Driving is achieved by an all electric vehicle which is charged by a Clipper Creek charging station at home and the huge benefit of employee charging stations at work.

Ethan (he/him) grew up in seacoast New Hampshire. He enjoyed working at his local indoor skatepark, giving lessons and managing camps. He’s always had a passion for riding skateboards, surfboards, and snowboards after school and on the weekends. His father has worked for the Environmental Protection Agency for more than 25 years and instilled love for the natural world in him and his older brother, Jeremy, who is also a Solar Installer and Electrician at ReVision.

Ethan graduated from the University of New England in Biddeford, ME with a B/S in Environmental Studies. During his time at UNE, Ethan enjoyed being a member of the soccer team, running experiments/playing around in wetlands, and could frequently be found sneaking in surf sessions at local beaches between classes.

Before joining ReVision’s Portland team, Ethan worked for Integrated Ocean Observing Systems (IOOS). He became tired of reading scientific papers about the effects of climate change on our oceans and decided to dedicate his career to doing something about it; transitioning from facilitating ocean science to helping reduce our region’s dependence on fossil fuels.

Ethan still lives in Biddeford with his partner, Kristen, who is a middle school science teacher at a local school district. He appreciates ReVision’s ‘healthy work life balance’, which allows him to take advantage of hurricane swell at the drop of a hat.

Feel free to give us a call on our main line, where Ethan, or one of our other Solar Advisors, will be eager to help you determine a plan of action to get away from dirty fossil fuels!

Ethan has been designing solar, heat pumps and other clean energy systems at ReVision Energy since 2017. His favorite part of this work is that it allows him to travel throughout the beautiful state of Maine, while meeting interesting people and helping to alleviate economic and social injustice from our dominant fossil fuel-based economy.

Before changing careers into renewable energy, Ethan lived and worked in a range of places, including Washington, D.C., Cambridge, Jerusalem, and Ramallah. He spent the earlier part of his career working on education and international conflict management initiatives. One of these was an applied research project that explored how oil, mining and gas companies can better engage local communities to mitigate their negative social and environmental impacts. It was through this work that he grew an interest in how business can be a force for good, which ultimately led him to ReVision Energy.

After living in the Middle East leading programming for Seeds of Peace, Ethan moved to Maine and found his way to ReVision. He loves to bike, hike, ski and canoe throughout Northern New England. Ethan lives in Portland with his wife, Abby, and their two sons. They heat their home and hot water with highly efficient heat pumps, all powered by a 13.84 KW solar array on their roof.

Even though he has only lived full-time in Maine since 2019, Grant was hooked on the Pine Tree State after his first visit as a newborn. He spent nearly 20 summers as a camper, counselor and administrator at a camp on Panther Pond in Raymond, where he learned and taught the importance of protecting the natural world.

He graduated from Williams College, where he spent countless hours running on the trails and dirt roads of the Berkshire Mountains. During his early career in the tech industry, Grant responded to the pull of the outdoors with backpacking trips around national parks both in the U.S. and while living for a year in New Zealand, where he was first introduced to the wonderful technology of heat pumps.

To lower his carbon impact, he bought a Nissan Leaf—affectionately called WALL-E after the Pixar character who helps to clean up the earth—even though the only place he could charge it at the time was at the middle school a mile down the road. After moving to Maine, the first call he made was to ReVision Energy to join a community solar farm and to replace his oil boiler with heat pumps.

Both Grant and his wife, Casey, hoped to find meaningful jobs that had a positive impact and were deeply rooted in their new local community here in southern Maine. After his great experience as a ReVision customer, Grant is incredibly grateful to have joined the team and is passionate about saving the world just like WALL-E, one roof at a time. He is glad that his son, Forrest, will grow up seeing clean energy all around him, and hopeful that he will one day live in a world powered entirely by renewables.

Guy comes to Revision Energy as a commercial solar designer and works with Maine businesses and nonprofit organizations interested in exploring solar energy options as an alternative to fossil fuels. As a manager and owner of a number of energy businesses in seacoast New Hampshire and southern Maine, he brings 25 years of experience to Revision Energy. In 2013, Guy saw the need for cleaner energy solutions through plant-based bio fuels after years of working in the fossil fuel industry and seeing firsthand the impact it had on the environment. His company, Simply Green Bio fuels, was the first bio fuel company in New Hampshire.

His first introduction to Revision Energy was when he served as a Board of Director at an alternative elementary and middle school in New Hampshire. That school is currently producing 95% of its electric needs through solar thanks to its partnership with Revision Energy. His experience as a business owner allowed him to see firsthand how it was possible to be both a good steward of the environment and to be fiscally beneficial to businesses and nonprofit organizations. Guy’s partnership with our company was a natural next step.

Guy lives on Southport Island in mid Coast Maine where he enjoys skiing, hiking, kayaking and sailing. The outdoors is his playground and his work with Revision Energy will help protect that for the future. One of his life philosophies is to give back to his community. He actively volunteers with a number of different organizations such as Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Boothbay Region Resource Council. He also serves on the board of the Southport sailing club, is president of the friends of Southport library and a garden volunteer for the Southport Historical Society.

Lili (she/her) joins the ReVision family as a Maine native and outdoor enthusiast. While she was born and raised here, she cultivated her love for the outdoors through her travels both near and far.  

Lili received her undergraduate degree at High Point University in North Carolina specializing in Elementary Education. Once she graduated, she relocated back to Maine before heading out west to live in Colorado and Oregon for 8 years. While in Oregon, Lili pursued her certification in Montessori education in hopes of learning a more holistic approach to teaching and educating young minds.  

Through her travels, she learned the importance of collaboration and team work to help make the world a better place to be. Her interest in the outdoors allowed her to fold her passion for teaching others with her desire to raise awareness about the accessibility of renewable energy.  

Aside from advising others of their options to become a Solar Champion, she strives to be the best mom she can to her daughter, Sydney, and her pup, Polly. Lili loves the thrill of finding a new trail to explore, a new road to bike, a new recipe to try, or a new person to meet. You can likely find her surrounded by her family chasing that coveted slice of sunshine to enjoy.

Lucas (he/him) joined ReVision in 2021 after 15 years with a Portland environmental consulting and engineering firm. Over that time he was involved in the assessment and cleanup of hundreds contaminated sites across Maine and New England. Several of those same brownfield sites are now homes to ReVision solar installations, transitioning them from blighted and abandoned properties to clean energy power plants!

A lifelong learner, Lucas earned degrees from Wheaton College in 1998, and in 2006 from the University of Southern Maine in Environmental Science and Policy. He grew up in Prospect, Maine and moved to Portland after college, but his heart (and whole family) remains in rural Waldo/Hancock counties. Since joining ReVision, he has been welcomed into over 300 households, listening, educating, and helping Mainers transition the way their homes make and use energy. He is proud to be a co-owner and member of the South Portland sales and design team and helping ReVision lead New England and the world into the clean energy transition.   

When he’s not on the road making new solar champions, you might find him at the skate park with his wife and two boys, at Fenway park with his dad, or best of all at the family camp Downeast.  

Luke grew up in a small farming community in northern Ohio and bounced across the country before settling in Maine at the end of 2019. He has a passion for slowing down by spending time outside exploring Maine by foot, bike, or canoe with his partner Colleen and their two dogs.   

He was thrilled to find the Solar Design Specialist role at ReVision Energy in 2024. Most of all, Luke wants his community members to have access to accurate information around how to transition their lives off fossil fuels and he relishes the opportunity to meet new people and help them navigate their clean energy journey. 

Luke spent the early part of his career installing home audio/video equipment with the Geek Squad while getting a degree in English and Creative Writing from Florida Gulf Coast University. The job ended up sticking after college and he installed TVs and speakers from Fort Myers, to Boston, to eventually designing custom home AV systems in Los Angeles. Luke also spent 8 years working for audio company Sonos in a variety of sales and project management roles focused mostly on the custom installation world.  

Luke heats and cools his home in Portland with heat pumps and he’s exploring the right solar solution for his home. Transitioning to a clean energy economy is only part of building a more sustainable world and Luke is also passionate about efficient local food and waste systems along with integrating active transportation into city planning. 

Mike grew up in southern New Hampshire, with an obsession for movies, music, and snowboarding. After high school, he moved to Colorado to work for Vail Resorts to spend as much time on the mountain as possible. After a few years, realizing that being a “ski bum” was not going to be the wisest career choice, Mike enrolled at Full Sail University in Florida where he obtained his degree in audio engineering.

After college, he ventured out west and landed in San Francisco where he began working as a Recycling Coordinator and Analyst for the University of California San Francisco. This experience opened his eyes to the issues our planet is facing – and what large-scale sustainability projects can accomplish. He also spent time doing logistics for a lifestyle/apparel company before moving on to hone his skills in the trade of carpentry – doing finish work throughout the Bay Area. In his free time, he traveled the world, focused on music, and took advantage of all the things Northern California has to offer.

In 2016 he and his wife moved back to New England to be closer to family. They settled into the ease and calmer pace of Portland, and added another member to their crew, their son Niko. With a desire to have as much positive impact as possible in his day to day work, Mike joined ReVision Energy. He started on the roof installing solar panels and made his way to the sales and design team where he feels grateful to have found his “right livelihood” – engaging in an occupation that not only earns a living but also creates greater happiness, wisdom, and wellbeing.

Recently becoming a member of a community solar farm himself, Mike enjoys connecting with people and helping them to achieve their own goals of moving towards a green energy transition. As a co-owner of ReVision Energy, he is inspired by the mission-driven work each person brings to the table. When not chatting with folks about solar, Mike enjoys digging for new music, reading, and exploring Maine with his family.

Born and raised in the town of Norway, Owen spent his first 18 years in Western Maine, apart from a year abroad in Switzerland. After graduating with two degrees in music from Keene State College in New Hampshire, he lived in Portland for several years while teaching and performing, before moving to St. Paul, Minnesota with his wife Jenna.

In 2020, when the pandemic shut down much of normal life, including his job, Owen took the opportunity to spend part of the following winter in camps in northern Minnesota, supporting native-led resistance to tar sands oil projects. This reignited a desire to work directly on solutions to the climate crisis.

Upon returning to Maine, Owen joined ReVision Energy to continue that work at home. He’s lucky enough to live on Peaks Island, where you can usually find him in the middle of yet another do-it-yourself house project. As a Solar Design Specialist, Owen likes nothing more than solving the puzzle of how best to help his fellow Mainers save money while becoming more energy independent.

Stefan is a Jersey boy who fled the Garden State for the good life in New England. After completing college in Connecticut, Stefan was on the search to find meaningful work in this world and a town to call home. That search took him to Vermont to learn carpentry, then to Colorado to learn strawbale building.

He moved back to the east coast to Massachusetts and worked for the E.F. Schumacher Society, a non-profit working to build healthy local economies. Stefan was pulled to Maine after his brother invited him on a two week adventure to paddle the Allagash and hike Mount Katahdin. After that trip, Stefan stuffed all his belongings into his beat-up Toyota Tercel with 300,000 miles on it and moved to Portland, ME.

For the past 10 years, Stefan has been in the field of sustainable heating solutions, with a focus on heat pumps. As a co-owner at ReVision Energy, Stefan gets to do meaningful work that integrates his interests in building, local economics, and sustainability. Stefan now lives in South Portland in a whole house heat pump house with his wife, Leigh, and his son, Miles (they like to call him “the Bub”). Stefan, Leigh, and “the Bub” like to explore Maine by biking, canoeing, camping, and cross country skiing.

Thomas grew up on a small island in Penobscot Bay with a year-round population of about 600 people, where his father was his math teacher. He grew up understanding self-sufficiency as simply part of island life. When he was 16, he got an entirely new perspective on resiliency and community after his family switched places with the math teacher’s family in Herschel Village, South Africa, as part of a Fulbright teacher exchange program.

Thomas earned his BS in Economics from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where he was the captain of the soccer team. After graduation, he backpacked through South America, working in a design school for sustainable habitats, an artists’ cooperative, and multiple permaculture projects. He lasted 6 months before parasites and days on the road took their toll, but he took many lessons about sustainability with him, not to mention a newfound appreciation for the Incas’ stoneworking skills and worship of the sun. Thomas jumped back into the family landscape/gardening/stonemasonry business when he returned to Islesboro and built a solar-powered workshop for Hatch and Son’s.

Thomas moved to Portland in 2013 with the goal of getting involved in the renewable energy sector. He became an Energy Advisor at ReVision Heat, tasked with helping Mainers save money on their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint with practical investments in home heating and energy efficiency. He joined ReVision Energy in 2015 as a solar and heat pump design specialist and began managing the team in 2018. Thomas is now the longest tenured member of the Portland branch management team.

In 2017, Thomas bought his first home in Portland and immediately installed two heat pumps and a heat pump water heater, ripped out the gas boiler, insulated the basement, and air sealed. Thomas achieved a longtime dream of powering his own life with clean energy in 2019, when he installed 24 panels on his roof with help from his incredibly talented friends and co-owners. His 1928-built Cape was then net-zero with no fossil fuels in the house!

Since the transformational 2020s began, Thomas and his wife Abi have switched to driving Chevy Bolts, and they welcomed a daughter in 2023! With that came the use of more electricity, and in 2025, they joined a Member-Owned Community Solar Project to add another 5 kW of solar since the roof was already full. They are now back to producing all of the energy their family uses for their home and transportation!

When not helping Mainers get off of fossil fuels, Thomas surfs, bowhunts, golfs, and explores the outdoors as often as he can by snowboard, ski, boat, bike, and foot.

Tina joined ReVision Energy as a Commercial Solar Consultant in 2022 after 30 years as a public-school teacher and administrator. While a Superintendent at RSU 9, she signed the district into the Souther Farm Solar Array in Livermore Falls, covering 90% of the district’s electricity needs. She believes the transition to solar is an important message and shows that school leaders are committed to the long-term well-being of students by providing quality education and being good stewards of the earth.

Since joining ReVision Energy, she has educated other school districts municipalities, and businesses on the economic, environmental, and educational benefits of transitioning to solar with ReVision Energy. Addressing the barriers for economically disadvantaged schools and communities to transition to green energy is a top priority. For those who can’t afford the upfront cost, she is currently educating organizations about PPA options with ReVision Energy that allow for a transition to solar with no upfront cost.

Tina is a passionate outdoor adventurer. She ran competitively in high school and college and continues that passion as a master’s runner completing races throughout Maine. She also enjoys skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and paddle boarding with her husband of 37 years. Tina volunteers in her community and currently serves on the Livermore Public Library Board and the Maine Virtual Academy School Board.

Zach started his solar career with the national solar company Solar City. He then moved back home to Maine and joined ReVision with the belief that global sustainability starts local, with Maine people working to make Maine a leader in sustainable energy.

A native to Maine, Zach grew up in the small town of Hiram, and graduated from the University of Maine with a degree in New Media. Since graduation, he’s worked out west for the California Conservation Corps Backcountry Trails program in Kings Canyon National Park, and for the Northwest Youth Corps in Oregon, leading teenagers on urban conservation projects. He later spent time exercising his green thumb in France through organic farming with the WWOOF program. Upon his return to New England, he worked for the Appalachian Mountain Club, L.L. Bean, and Maine Huts and Trails (the seasonal work trifecta). He also worked as a producer for New Hampshire Public Radio where he won a regional Murrow Award for his reporting and production. All this to say, Zach has a passion and curiosity for the environment, conservation, and helping people out.

Zach currently lives in Portland’s West End and enjoys playing and listening to music, being weirdly superstitious about all the New England sports teams, and sitting outside by a nice fire.
