Cory serves as the Director for SolarShare WI Cooperative, where he manages the day to day operations of the cooperative and is the point of contact for members, the board and the general public. Cory has over a decade of experience helping individuals and businesses with energy efficiency, electrification and renewable energy projects serving municipalities in Southern Wisconsin with WECC (now Slipstream) and WPPI Energy. Most recently in his experience as an energy entrepreneur, Cory gained experience in business development and energy innovation working to put big ideas to work for income constrained homeowners. Participating in Wisconsin’s premiere accelerator program (gener8tor gBeta) during the pandemic gave him the tools and motivation to start his own company during the pandemic, and while the startup he co-founded ultimately took a back seat to feeding his family, he wouldn’t trade that experience for anything. He is excited to bring his experience and grit to help build SolarShare WI Cooperative, getting back to helping fellow Wisconsinites achieve a cleaner future. Cory grew up in Prairie Du Chien, in the heart of Wisconsin’s rivers and bluff country, graduated from UW-Madison with BA in Geography and has lived in Wisconsin his whole life. He is happiest when he is helping fellow Wisconsinites live healthy and sustainable lives.
