Drake Cleveland - Document Manager and Website Developer – dfc38@nau.edu
My name is Drake Cleveland and I've had an interest in renewable energy since I was a little kid. My career aspirations after college include working on the inside of a power plant, and eventually help design one. Something I have taken away from my upbringing and college career is that there is always a better way to accomplish something. Because of this principle, this project really sparked for me and I was able to apply the skills and interests I've developed over my college career to a real world application.
