With solar energy being in the news, I figured I would bring someone from the industry onto my podcast today.
Meet Lee DeLange, the chief operating officer of GenPro Energy Solutions based in South Dakota. I first met Lee last fall during the annual South Dakota Buffalo Roundup. There, we talked about hunting, the energy industry, and the draw of the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Here’s Lee’s biography:
