Tobias received his bachelor’s in science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida. Prior to graduate school, Tobias worked as a Project Engineer for ExxonMobil. As a Project Engineer, he led multi-million-dollar control system projects across the United States from Alabama to California and from Texas to Wyoming. His work there crystalized for him how important the energy infrastructure is in the transition to clean and sustainable energy.
After graduate school, Tobias worked at Inclusive Prosperity Capital, a start-up investment fund that was a spin-out of the Connecticut Green Bank. As part of the Transaction team there, he was a financial modeling specialist helping non-profits, religious institutions, schools, and municipalities reduce their electricity demand through energy efficiency initiatives as well as supply their remaining energy needs through solar projects. Tobias currently works in renewable energy at a large tech company as a negotiator and buyer of renewable electricity through Power Purchase Agreements. In his free time, Tobias is a volunteer, a world traveler, a passionate soccer fan and a competitive basketball player.
