About Robert Metcalf

I thrive on simplifying the complex, and believe that transitioning to a renewable energy infrastructure is an environmental, economic, and moral imperative. As an entrepreneur and business-owner, have the opportunity to craft our own little world, not as it usually is, or as it was in our last jobs, but as we want it to be. My primary focus is the day-to-day operation of our family-owned business, May Lindstrom Skin, where we formulate and produce high-efficacy skin care products from the world\'s finest natural ingredients.As an accomplished engineer with multiple patent awards, my background includes serving as the primary fueling system architect on the Antares rocket launch site that was designed to resupply the International Space Station, designing innovative financial models for crowdfunding solar at Solar Mosaic, and serving as principal engineer of Portable Composite Structures, a low-cost, rapid deployment structure for military and disaster relief applications.
