The GRID Mid-Atlantic office would like to give a warm welcome to James Brown and Aaron Lovett! Since May 2015, they have been contributing to GRID as DCSEU workforce development interns, but Aaron and James will now be working with the Mid-Atlantic team full time through our SolarCorps fellowship!
Aaron comes to GRID after serving in the U.S. Army National Guard and has extensive experience in construction. Among many other skills, Mr. Lovett brings carpentry, infrastructure design and a can-do attitude to the Mid-Atlantic GRID team. “GRID is confirmation that I can do anything I put my mind to” says Aaron.
James is a roofing expert. Prior to join GRID, he was in the roofing industry for over 5 years and has worked on projects throughout the DMV area. James studied HVAC theory at the University of the District of Columbia and brings a high level of skill and expertise to the GRID team. “GRID has shown and taught me the values of giving back to our low income community” states James.
We are excited to bring these two gentlemen on board and show our commitment to the RISE initiative!
