John is a proud Wiradjuri man born on Gomeroi lands. John has decades of experience across carbon reduction, power quality and facilities roadmaps, his first professional connection with efficiency and renewables dating back to the 1990s.  

John cut his teeth with domestic solar (PV and hot water) before impacting on early adoption in the commercial solar industry. His work in commercial efficiency boasts a long list of successful energy upgrades for repeat clients from sectors including: manufacturing, education, retail, hotels, supermarkets, food processing and accommodation. He and his team used an agnostic multi technology approach to ensure the best project outcomes for each client.   

John has experience with multi-site large client degasification roadmaps, including using heat pumps to replace gas boilers and central heating plants. Also, in John’s repertoire are high voltage infrastructure upgrades and using CO2, R290 and natural refrigerants in the replacement of hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants.  

 Perhaps one John’s greatest strengths is supporting sustainability teams through the project presentation and approval process in difficult environments and with leadership teams that are not fully committed to the outcomes.    

He is a mentor and leader for all those in his circle and continues to volunteer his time facilitating healthy relationships, consent education and harm minimisation programmes for 12-25s in his community.
