Max Aram
Founder and CEO of Electrum
After earning a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering in 2008, Max immigrated to the United States to pursue his master’s degree and the “American Dream.” As a student at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), Max spearheaded one of CSUN’s largest student-run projects based off an app concept he developed to advise students on where to find parking among the crowded student lots. After writing his master’s thesis investigating CSUN’s green initiatives, Max determined that solar power was the school’s most reliable green energy source. This solidified his advocacy for the industry and its environmental benefits. While investigating the residential solar marketplace, Max found that installers’ aggressive sales strategies had made shoppers skeptical and defensive. He determined that the industry needed to operate with more transparency in order to grow and set out to develop the platform that would become Pick My Solar.

Sinuhe Montoya
CEO of DroneQuote
Sinuhe got his start in the “real world” by enlisting in the United States Army in 2002 as a result of September 11th. He completed two combat tours to Iraq wherein he learned the value of life and freedom by experiencing lessons that can only be taught during a war. Once he got out of the Army, he was armed with an ironclad resilience and steadfast drive to be a successful businessman. Being a steward of the environment, he knew that renewable energy was his calling so he muscled his way into sales at the renown Baker Electric in San Diego where he made himself a name for being a top producer. It was at Baker that Sinuhe took from his past experiences and introduced drone technology to make the process safer of designing for solar safer, more efficient, and better for the customer. Having the strong drive to always be of service and to help others coupled with an itch to be an entrepreneur he saw the opportunity to take the concept of drone technology and apply it solar and roofing. Not being risk-averse, Sinuhe bet on himself, and with the help of his business partner, he launched DroneQuote in 2017. Today, Sinuhe continues to build DroneQuote and strives to give consumers a level of convenience, cost-effectiveness, and transparency that has never been seen in solar and roofing. While you can take the man out of the Army, you can never take the Army out of the man – with this spirit, Sinuhe and company will not stop until the mission to simplify solar and roofing for everyone is accomplished.

David Eagle
Founder, CEO of Current EV
David became an early Los Angeles Westside adopter of both EVs and solar power. He has owned one of the first Nissan Leafs sold in the United States as well as a Chevy Volt, a BMW i3, a Toyota Prius, an Audi A3 e-Tron and a Mercedes B250e. His home is powered entirely by solar power; his monthly bill from LADWP often shows a negative balance. He charges his electric vehicles with a charger installed in his garage. The solar panels on the roof of his home provide all the energy he needs to power his residence and his EVs. Through the extensive contacts he has established with Los Angeles automobile dealerships, and via his relationships with various organizations like Plug-In America and Alt Car Expo, David has become an expert on finding the best deals for electric vehicles, chargers and solar power. He has personally assisted many EV purchasers through the process of test driving the vehicles they’re considering, helping them negotiate their deal and aiding them with important after-details such as filing for rebates and tax credits and obtaining HOV stickers. David’s career spans more than 30 years supplying media product to the TV networks, cable channels and movie studios. He worked for NBC News and several independent companies before starting his own production companies in 1990. ABC, CBS, Fox and PBS were all recipients of David’s award-winning work. He is additionally a principal founder in a film and video clip distribution company. David was also the principal founder and Chairman of the Board of New West Charter School, one of the most prestigious and successful charter schools in Los Angeles. Starting from scratch with nothing more than a concept and a passion to create one of the best public schools possible, David gathered together an esteemed group of educators and parents to accomplish what many said couldn’t be done. 12 years later, New West is academically rated the Number One Charter School in LA; a stunning success story.
