Ethan is a Senior Associate, Coalitions and Campaigns, who joined the Fresh Energy team in the Winter of 2025. On the public affairs team, he leverages our advocacy capacity and communication tools to advance Fresh Energy’s mission in coalition spaces across growing programmatic areas. Before joining Fresh Energy, Ethan worked at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as an outdoor recreation and conservation grants associate, supporting the administration of statewide grant programs.
Originally from Northern Illinois, Ethan found home in Minnesota while studying Environmental Science and Sociology at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. While studying, Ethan worked at Fresh Energy as our 2020 Capitol Pathways Legislative Intern. Following his time at Fresh Energy, Ethan continued to pursue clean energy and climate policy coursework and opportunities because of the exposure he had during his internship.
A Great Lakes and Driftless Region enthusiast, Ethan enjoys hiking, biking, and being outdoors – while in Wisconsin he made habit of visiting state parks, natural areas, and trails and hopes to continue doing so in Minnesota.
