Inspiration to Start Company

The inspiration behind founding Gemini Energy Solutions is deeply rooted in the entrepreneurial spirit exemplified by my mother and a close mentor. Growing up, my mother’s venture, Personal Preference Art, introduced me to the business world and opened doors to unique experiences like cruises. This early exposure to entrepreneurship instilled in me the value of ambition and self-reliance.

Additionally, witnessing the success of Courageous Conversations, a global consulting company led by its Founder and CEO, who I regard as a big brother, further fueled my aspirations. Observing his operational savvy and the fulfilling life his achievements afforded him was genuinely inspirational. These influences combined to create a strong foundation for my own entrepreneurial journey.

The creation of Gemini Energy Solutions reflects this background, driven by a desire to impact the clean energy sector while addressing social inequities significantly. My vision was to build a company that excels in providing energy solutions and prioritizes equitable access and sustainability, particularly for historically marginalized communities. Through Gemini Energy Solutions, I aimed to blend my passion for environmental stewardship with a commitment to social responsibility inspired by entrepreneurial examples.
