He began his career as an engineer working on U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarines. From there he transitioned to the commercial nuclear power business and obtained his Senior Reactor Operators License from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This license enabled him to operate and direct the operations of a $1 billion Nuclear Power Station. During this time Mr. Burns was qualified as the company's Emergency Director and Company Spokesperson. He served on the company's Station Review Board and the Company Nuclear Review Board. During his 18-year career with several major U.S. utility companies, Mr. Burns served as a Strategic Planning Manager, oversaw a $300 million annual capital budget program, and provided risk control for a $1 billion natural gas and electric trading operation.

Mr. Burns formed a consulting business in 2000 when utility deregulation began to take hold across the U.S. and in particular, Ohio. Since then IEC has designed, implemented and administered hundreds of natural gas and/or electric programs that have saved tens of millions of dollars for residential, commercial and governmental customers. IEC has also brokered energy contracts for industrial clients, hospitals, property managers and retail chains throughout the U.S and is certified in energy conservation techniques. Mr. Burns is the Energy Manager for Corporate United, a Group Purchasing Organization comprised of over 200 fortune-2000 companies. As president of Independent Energy Consultants he has strategically leveraged his company's service capabilities by forming channel partner relationships with EnerNOC and other best in class energy service providers.
