Jeffrey Pritchard

Managing Consultant

I’ve reinvented my career to focus on energy systems and protecting the natural environment. At Michaels, I’m fortunate to be able to work with the people and technologies at the vanguard of energy efficiency and help move the needle towards a sustainable future.

Jeff joined the Michaels team in August 2022. He brings his professional experience and academic tenacity to the Research and Evaluation group. His experience working in local government and surveying energy professionals across the country has exposed him to various energy efficiency programs. Jeff has designed and performed residential energy efficiency audits and loves spending time with people to educate them on energy efficiency resources and technologies.

Jeff recently graduated from the University of Michigan with a Master of Science in Environment and Sustainability and a Master of Urban and Regional Planning. His focus areas included utility-scale renewable energy systems modeling, incorporating artificial intelligence into natural disaster recovery and preparedness, and non-motorized transportation infrastructure. Prior to grad school, Jeff served as a Project Manager, mitigating waste and recovering fuels from industrial hazardous materials. Jeff earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Michigan State University and an Executive Project Management certificate from Loyola University Chicago.

Outside of work, Jeff spends time with his wife, Amanda, and daughter, Lyla. Jeff likes to golf, ride his bicycle, read books, and relax at the lake. However, Jeff’s favorite activity is cooking delicious meals for friends and family.
