Tod Jay Lefevre
We’d like to honor one of our original founders Tod Jay Lefevre, who without his enthusiasm and dedication for renewable energy, Common Energy would not be what it is today. His life story reads like an epic adventure, filled with astonishing accomplishments and unwavering dedication.
Tod Jay Lefevre's legacy lives on as an enduring source of inspiration, reminding us to embrace life's challenges, believe in ourselves, and always strive to be better.
