Doug really goes above and beyond. I can shoot him a text message, and he will follow through and take care of any issues I’ve had without me having to remind him. It’s great to see that kind of attention to customers and relationships in this day and age.
Brian Grillot
Director of Business Systems Jaguar Transport Holdings, LLC
Working with Doug over the past years has brought valuable input into our company's energy management. Doug uses an analytical and thorough approach to help guide clients to the most optimized energy arrangements possible, always keeping the customer's best interests in mind. Using energy wisely will become increasingly important, and Doug provides open-minded guidance in today's energy jungle.
Doug is always the first person I reach out to when I have any lighting or facility energy questions. There is never any need to reach out to a second person.
Great communication, very responsive to energy market conditions. Honest and trustworthy.
Paul Young

I have known and worked with Doug closely on several projects since 2017 and can honestly say that he has true passion for what he does and cares deeply for his customers, not to mention friends and family. I have been inspired and have learned a great deal from Doug throughout the years and I have been witness to the amount of work and thought he brings to the table when it comes to delivering a quality service and outcome to his customers.

Doug was great to work with while performing our lighting upgrade improvements in our industrial facility. Doug was responsive to our needs and provided solutions for our best options with built-in future improvements. The facility had over 270 fixtures and had an average foot-candle reading of 12 to 15. The new fixtures were installed, and we are now at 25 to 35 fc with fixtures 30 feet from the ground. Doug also went out of his way to work with purchasing on our payment terms to ensure both parties were satisfied. I would recommend working with Doug for your current or future lighting needs.
About Me
Helping businesses navigate energy isn't just my job—it's my passion. Knowing I've helped someone make smarter decisions and save money is what drives me.
For over twenty years, I've watched companies struggle with energy buying—confusing contracts, poor broker advice, and missed opportunities due to a lack of clear market information. I saw too many businesses overspending simply because they didn't have the right guidance. So, I made a shift. Instead of selling energy, I started walking alongside companies, helping them buy energy.
Now, I coach companies' on buying energy in deregulated states and I work with finance teams to evaluate on-site energy generation, I also develop tailored LED lighting solutions, and help energy companies share their expertise with my LinkedIn audience of 9,000+ followers.
Why do I care so much about coaching, collaborating and sharing my knowledge? Because when businesses truly understand their options, they make informed decisions, save money, and take control of their energy future. My goal is simple: to make complex energy choices clear and straightforward.

From understanding supplier contracts to tracking market trends, I’ll equip you with practical strategies and insider insights. You'll learn how to run a straightforward, effective RFP, confidently negotiate deals—without the middlemen and I’ll be there every step of the way on your first buy.
By the time we’re done, you’ll be so well-versed in energy buying that you’ll never need me again.

💡 LED Lighting Planning
Work with my lighting company, Forthright LED. The Forthright team specializes in lighting for manufacturing and warehouse facilities but has experience with projects in other facility types, such as office spaces, and parking facilities.
You can schedule a free consultation with me directly to share insight on what you're looking to achieve.
Our team will then work with your team to gather your site's lighting data, such as counts and drawings. We'll also send you a light meter to measure your current light levels.
You’ll receive a professional lighting design and financial evaluation that includes material costs, energy savings, estimated rebates, and a ROI. All for free just for considering purchasing our products.
