Carnell Tate
Industry: Clean Energy
Bio: I can’t remember a time when I was not fascinated with cutting-edge technology, and I had no choice but to devote myself to becoming an engineer. As I got older, I discovered how a career in engineering would equip me with an arsenal to disrupt our broken energy paradigm and renewable energy offered a new world of promise and potential that I wanted to be a part of. Working with Black Oak would be more than a job for me. My insatiable desire to learn about and apply renewable energy solutions drives me to perform work with unstoppable diligence.
