Using knowledge gained from a lifetime working in the energy arena, Donn writes about energy and related issues.
Early on, he witnessed how the lack of electricity forced people in developing countries to use manual labor where work could have been done far more easily with equipment powered by electricity.
He spent four years establishing companies around the world to service GE power generation and other equipment. These locations included Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, the Netherlands, and the UK, countries where he established new plants or entered into joint ventures or made acquisitions.
These personal experiences enliven his articles and books.
Most important is his ability to make complex energy issues easy to understand.
Understanding these complex energy issues is critical for all Americans as the country grapples with the use of wind and solar generated electricity, the development of battery powered vehicles and the introduction of autonomous vehicles.
He is a retired GE Company senior executive and a veteran of the Korean War.
He graduated from the United States Merchant Marine Academy with honors.
