Nesdon started at APL in the beginning of 2014, but was involved in the initial conceptualization of All Power Labs as a power-hacking community. As a member of The Shipyard community, he managed its off-grid power system, the project that inspired APL. A former motion picture production designer, college professor, boat builder, auto mechanic and marine invertebrate zoologist, with a master’s degree in instructional design, he is applying his broad skill set to solving whatever problems may come up in APL’s effort to transform the global energy landscape.
