Sarah Lynn is a licensed environmental engineer, educator and, for 56 years, activist.  (She started young, and is older than she looks!)  She holds two interdisciplinary degrees from UofL: a Bachelor in Applied Science in environmental engineering and an MS in environmental education and environmental history.  After retiring from civil service, she began applying her practical experience to achieving clients’ energy efficiency and renewable energy goals.  After joining the int'l Climate Reality Project and being licensed by Al Gore to give her version of "An Inconvenient Truth," she co-founded Louisville CAN.  Besides teaching for LCAN, she teaches Building Operator Certification courses.

After 25 years of executing home remodeling projects, Glen wanted to use his understanding of buildings and their various systems to aide our overheating planet.  From LCAN's perspective, the best candidate for becoming an energy auditor is someone who understands how buildings are put together, what's behind their walls, how to make durable building upgrades, etc.  In other words, Glen is a natural fit for our team.  He leads our energy-efficiency audits, drafts audit reports and assists clients with implementing our recommendations.

Oona (Gaelic for "lamb") is LCAN's pedigreed paper shredder and face licker, who's as smart as she is cute.

Over the past 25 years, Monique has worked as executive director for three environmental nonprofits, managing up to 20 staff, and helped raise tens of millions of dollars as development director or director of major gifts.  She also co-authored The New York Times best-selling book, “Your Money or Your Life” (2008 edition).  She has been on numerous boards, most recently serving as an elected elder at her church.  She earned her BA from George Washington University.  After spending much of her career in Washington, DC, she moved to Louisville in 2014 with her husband and two daughters.  In her capacity as LCAN's Deputy Director, Monique oversees LCAN programming and fundraising.

After 30+ years in the tech industry, ensuring that telecom networks were secure, up-to-date and meeting needs, James now fills in wherever needed for LCAN.  When we conduct audits of our clients' facilities, we need to inspect roofs for solar-power suitability, check pipe-wrap insulation on rooftop HVAC units, etc.  James is a licensed drone pilot, allowing our team to do our jobs without having to transport or climb ladders.  James also photo-documents audit findings, assists clients with implementing recommendations and seemingly does anything else we need.

As a 2nd generation environmentalist, Eli grew up around people who care and take action.  Not surprisingly, he studied Biology, earning a BA from Earlham College and an MS from UofL, focusing on invasive plant removal and the restoration of natural areas.  Over the last two decades, Eli has worked in the local public- and non-profit sectors, in social services and conservation.  He has served in roles involving direct client service, field technician, office administration, IT support and facilities management.  Now, Eli is using his skills and experience to assist LCAN's clients to cut their carbon and costs, while advancing their missions.  Besides managing our Technical Services, he oversees IT.

Stephen Zink earned a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce and a Master’s in Accountancy, both from UofL.  For decades, he practiced accounting with local firms, most recently, Mountjoy, Chilton & Medley (now part of Cherry Bekaert).  And still found time to serve on nonprofit boards, e.g., Louisville Science Center, Louisville Urban League and East Broadway Business Assoc.  When he retired recently, he decided to apply his talents to reviving East Broadway—including the building housing Locals Food Hub & Pizza Pub—and leaving a better world to his grandchildren.  Case in point, he oversees LCAN’s bookkeeping.
