Johnson Controls bought EnergyConnect in 2011. After Johnson Controls completed the acquisition, Mr. Evans was, from 2011 through 2014, Vice President and General Manager of EnergyConnect as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson Controls. From 2003 to 2008, Mr. Evans was Senior Vice President, Chief Business Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of the Electric Power Research Institute, an energy industry organization. Mr. Evans holds a B.A. in Economics and Management from Sonoma State University and a M.B.A. from San Diego State University.

Based on his work experience in the electricity industry, his previous directorships, and his education, we have deemed Mr. Evans fit to serve on the Board.
