Eric Nelson, PE, CEM

Energy Solutions Engineering Lead

My early exposure to natures’ beauty has given me a deep, life-long appreciation for it. This influenced me heavily when picking an engineering career path. I believe energy conservation holds a crucial weight on our path to a sustainable future. The people and work this industry offers fills me with purpose and hope. 

Eric started with Michaels in October of 2023 as a Senior Engineer. In this role, he will support programs in Denver, Colorado and surrounding areas. He comes from a background working in Chicago C&I Energy Efficiency programs with a focus on industrial systems.

Eric graduated from Boise State University in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in applied mathematics. He is registered as a professional engineer in Illinois.
