His responsibilities at Stewart and Stevenson included: journeyman electrician, electrical department supervisor, electrical inspector, switchgear design, electronic research, and development design, and support of 60 and 400-hertz ancillary equipment used on commercial and military generator sets. He was employed by Oil Data Inc from 1980-86 repairing computer mainframes, and analog and digital equipment used in oil exploration. 

In 1987, they opened their own business, I.E.S., supporting major generator service companies throughout the US. After 27 successful years, he retired in 2015. In 1995 he designed a PWM charge controller for a solar system he installed on his motorhome saving over 48000-kilowatt hours to date.

Secretary, Heather Maio brings to the table a 28-year career as an Environmental Health Director at the Pueblo health department.  She has a B.S. in Wildlife Biology and an MPA from UCCS. She has always been an advocate of clean energy and recycling. She developed the Environmental Coordinator program through which we conducted much needed education, as well as numerous recycling and trash collection events in all parts of the city, and a collection for hazardous chemicals for appropriate disposal. I also was highly instrumental in building the LEED platinum health department.

She is a proud solar panel owner. I recently upgraded my panels, which now are providing all of my electrical needs.

She is thrilled to be a Board member of REOCA and look forward to helping us stave off threats to generation of clean electricity from the sun!

Treasurer, Thomas A. Blomster a semi-retired professional musician and teacher who moved to Pueblo with his wife Nikki Tsuchiya in early 2018 after 40+ years in Denver and around the world.

Currently Thomas is Music Director of the Colorado Chamber Orchestra, Douglas County Youth Orchestra, and Locust the Opera by Dr. Anne Guzzo and Jeffrey Lockwood. In March 2019 Thomas conducted the North African premiere of Locust the Opera in Agadir, Morocco.
