Mark is a Business Development Specialist at Buffalo Solar. In his position, Mark oversees the engineering, procurement, and construction of commercial renewable energy projects. He also seeks ways to provide equitable access to solar energy systems to homeowners, business owners, and nonprofit organizations who may not have the upfront capital to purchase these systems as easily as some of the larger, more wealthy corporations. Mark draws from his prior experience of running his own law firm and property management firm in other states to navigate the regulatory issues that his work entails, particular with the zoning, planning, legal, and code review processes.
Mark is a Buffalo native who returned in 2018 with one mission in mind: to give back to the community that raised him.
