Remembering a Friend

It's been a long couple of weeks. Tyler Palmer, the founder and president of my company, GreenMountain Engineering: a renewable energy and cleantech engineering firm, died in a skiing accident on January 27. On January 28 we went up to the roof our old building to watch the sunset, share stories, and remember our friend and leader.

Some links... Tyler was very involved with Engineers Without Borders, and they've set up a fund for memorial contributions. We are also keeping updates posted on our website at www.greenmountainengineering.com/tylerpalmer.
