3D Software expertise in ProEngineer/Creo
WF5, Solidworks 2010 and AutoCad Inventor 2008.
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 being 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 consulting services,
which we are exclusive agents for Alternative Retail
Electric and Green Energy Credits.
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
2011. 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). Fun project with 2 different
designs. The 1st project we converted a 10 speed mountain
bike; the 2nd we converted an excercise bike. Both very
fun design projects!
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 of the series was from a trip I took
to Shanghai, China!
