Nothing is impossible for those that are willing to ask the questions and put in the hard work.
Loving what you do is paramount to achieving what you need, as you never think you are saddled with burdens to be overcome in reaching your goals. In turn, anything becomes possible, as everything you do snowballs, building momentum and each small goal conquered, catapults you into range of the larger objectives.Objectives in SADC Energy Landscape
Currently pursuing long-term residency options in Namibia to further energy security development within the Southern Africa Development Countries (SADC) region. Open to business and consulting opportunities with local resources to facilitate sustainable, low-carbon, employment providing, diversified energy generation and delivery integration systems based upon extensive experience in global energy markets and advancing technology deployment schemes.
The future energy landscape will no longer focus on legacy centralized generation, distribution and financial ideologies, but rather through complex, albeit possible, intelligently integrated energy systems and logistical supply chains driving long-term costs down while increasing reliability and accessibility over the short and mid-terms.
Opportunities to advance these goals within SADC is my primary motivation, tying knowledge and resources gained around the world throughout all energy sectors and disciplines.Summary
Mr. Hyde, trained as an unconventional engineer, has 20 years "boots on the ground" experience in the global energy sectors. His forte is in studying the origins of cultural values and demonstrating how they shape human desires for energy security. The fruits obtained from his continual "How & Why" questioning, offer deeper insights into their interaction through positive and negative feedback loops. His goal is to share this knowledge for common economic and human betterment.
Hans is currently establishing a networking framework to facilitate mid-scale, "all of the above" technology and evolving financial model integration projects his research has identified as under-served between the Mega and Micro deployment schemes prevalent throughout the African continent.
In the moments Mr. Hyde is not engaged in this endeavor, he is organizing his emigration to Southern Africa (Namibia) from the stark & arid half of United States he's called "home" for 20 years. This familiarity forms a large portion of his personal connection and inherent understanding of geographic, social and environmental concerns he will encounter in the SADC region.
Those efforts are focused through his social enterprise, Energy Web Global.Hans' Energy Blog

Risk Mitigation Specialist/Inspection Supervisor @ Lightning Eliminators & Consultants
◆ How do I say this simply while not understating the vast implications of what exactly we do at Lightning Eliminators & Consultants? We provide an engineered, scientific solution, using a naturally occurring phenomenon, to minimize the probability to nearly zero of taking a lightning termination inside a designated area.
◆ From a day to day perspective my objectives included increasing cost effectiveness of installation protocol; adding value to the company's technology line through face-to-face interaction with the customers and end users; new customer development; increasing frequency of repeat business and returning lapsed company-product deployment relationships to open communication and future needs based solution developments around the world and throughout the energy sectors.
◆ Although I stand 100% behind the physics of the company's engineered solution, I am uncomfortable disclosing in an open forum any details resulting in my ultimate decision to part ways with the company. The customers and companies I was fortunate to work with around the world, would attest to my professional capacities and my inherent desire to continually improve upon all aspects of furthering positive and meaningful customer-client relationships.
