Ernie Bussel

CEO

A strong work ethic, the ability to identify with people quickly, and a technical mind have allowed Ernie to work and excel in the worlds of Solar Power, Construction, the US Navy, and Secondary Education. However, what has always driven him is his desire to take care of people, his love of his two sons, and his willingness to serve.

While in the Navy, Ernie advanced to the rank of Petty Officer Second Class while also gaining the coveted certification of Quality Assurance Inspector and qualifying for all senior in-rate certifications. As a Missile Technician on Ohio Class Submarines, he received and maintained a Top-Secret SSBI security clearance while working on Trident II nuclear missiles within nuclear security and nuclear weapons operating procedures. The desire to serve his country and work for something “greater than himself” is what he says inspired him to serve in the Navy.
