3D Software expertise in ProEngineer/Creo,
Solidworks and AutoCad Inventor.
Experience with creating complex assemblies and developing
technical drawings for manufacturing.
Web & Graphic Design
Software expertise in Dreamweaver,
Flash, Photoshop, Fireworks and Corel. I am experienced
with product and branding development, ground up business
web design, SEO and marketing consultation.
I founded OilDependency.Org
in 2005. In 2009 changed the organization name to
OurOilDependency.Org. The web site is dedicated to
providing primary and secondary research/resources
to help analyze our increasing addiction to fossil
fuels and to help dissect the proposed alternatives.
Zelen
Energy began as a residential wind
turbine experiment in 2007. Now several dozen designs
later we have two pilot projects installed in southern
Illinois. The word "Zelen"
is a Slavic translation for "Green".
Zelen Energy is structured as a consulting
business which consists of my brother Shawn Coyle,
and myself. Our passion for generating electricity
stems from two generations of electricians; our Grandfather
and late Father who gave us much of our inspiration
and knowledge. We now offer consultation for small
scale solar, wind and geo-thermal. We have also added
BlueStar Energy Solutions to our list of services.
Through BlueStar we offer competitive Retail

SpendLessForEnergy.com
is a marketing campaign that I developed to help generate
leads for alternative retail
electric supply provided by BlueStar Energy
solutions. The campaign is set to launch in Fall of
2012. Illinois electric utilities are deregulated
which gives consumers a choice to purchase their electricity
from companies other then the main utility. BlueStar
Energy solutions offers alternative retail electric
up to 25% less then ComEd or Ameren.
I designed and maintain St.Bruno Catholic
School's web site. I am also an active school board
member and help run the school's green initiative and
Earth Day celebrations. Recently I worked with Amber
Glynn, a teacher and head of the green initiative at
St.Bruno, on writing a Illinois Solar Energy grant.
After much hard work Amber and I were able to get the
school a $10,000 grant for a new solar panel system.
On a daily basis I face technological
troubleshooting challenges and thought it would be helpful
to me and others to begin recording these problems,
issues and concerns. I started a blog in 2010 which
is comprised of tech tips that I feel
are worthy of posting to the world!
My passion for Environmental Education
led me to my credentials as a LEED Accredited
Professional. I wanted to further my understanding
of green design not only from a renewable energy perspective
but from an architectural, civil and building-systems
point of view. I acquired my credentials through the
United States Green Building Council and the Green Building
Certification Institute.
Green-E
Excercise Bike. The bikes were built
for St.Bruno Earthday Celebration as
a demonstration for how power is generated by turning
magnets against coils (or vice versa). Two different
designs: the first project we converted a 10 speed mountain
bike; the second we converted an excercise bike.
Panorama Gallery- armed
with a professional camera that has stitch assist, I
began making wide shot frames from places that I have
visite. The first series is from a trip I took to Shanghai,
China. More to come soon!
Skinny Pig Condo - I
was asked to help build a skinny pig (hairless guinea
pig) cage for a 4th grade classroom. In effort to make
a seemingly simple project more complex the result was
a two story condo, with windows, skylights, ramps, deck
and full lighting system. See the gallery »
