This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
After Robert returned to the U.S. he thought could this be more than a philanthropic effort? He started the research and development to build the platform out from the original large solar panel he used in his philanthropic efforts overseas to smaller panels that could be easily carried and charged by the sun. He thought we could use the mobile solar chargers to charge our cell phones, iPods, laptops and other devices. And his new company emerged Goal Zero.
Robert is a visionary, and he is motivated to empower people, like Joe Atkin, CEO of Goal Zero, and his senior vice-president of sales, Bart Miller, through support, responsibility, respect and opportunity. What drives Robert and his management team is to be create a work environment that enables their employees, their customers and the owners to reach their potential while having a profound impact on our world.
These portable solar chargers can be charging out in the sun while you're hiking, camping, fishing or biking or for your emergency preparedness. Goal Zero has an extensive line of solar charging equipment, and right now one of the most popular is for cell and smart phones. So, we're talking about sunlight, and that couldn't be greener. People are so excited about Goal Zero and this beautiful product that it's flying off the shelf. This company has grown exponentially in the last four years.
As I speak, the Goal Zero engineers are designing more products that support our independence and ease when we're on the go and out in the wilderness enjoying Mother Nature. When you visit their website goalzero.com, you'll be amazed at the complete power kits and rechargeable power packs that serve your needs with portable, tough, small solar chargers that will charge anything from your cell phone to a refrigerator.
For Zions Bank, I'm Chris Redgrave, speaking on business.
