I received my bachelors degree in Finance from Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ in May 2000. I
received my MBA from Rutgers University in Camden, NJ in January 2005.
In the summer of 2007, I was doing some accounting for an engineering firm when I read about a shortage of quality components
for the wind power industry. The industry needs to overcome challenges such as this if it is going to thrive.
I went to ownership at the company I was doing accounting for and presented a proposal to expand into the wind industry.
My proposal was unceremoniously rejected. I was upset, but not discouraged.
In September 2007, I attended a wind power trade show presented by Sandia in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. I had been traveling from Philadelphia to Albuquerque
for about 10-hours. I was not in the mood for "small talk". I was on east coast time and Albuquerque
is 2-hours behind Philadelphia. So it was 8pm on the clock, my body clock was telling me it was 10pm.
I did not know it at the time, but the shuttle bus ride from the airport would change my life forever. The shuttle bus driver
asked me why I was in New Mexico. I told him about the trade show. There was a woman in the shuttle bus from Tennessee.
She wanted to power her ranch with wind power. She asked me how to do it and I had no idea. I did not know what to tell her.
This became a common theme at the trade show. There was no where to go for buyers and sellers of components, service, and
construction projects to go to get their needs satisfied.
I hope that people find this site easy and convenient enough so that I can do my part to help the industry expand.
Thank you for visiting and any feedback that you may have is encouraged. And to those two people in the shuttle bus... THANK YOU.
You changed my life.
Sincerely
-Paul R. Murphy
