David Bridge - President
I have been blessed to follow some of my passions in sustainable energy and social equity, surrounded by the most amazing people here at GSS.
When I’m any kind of free from work I’m most easily found meandering in the woods or on the water along with my pup, Charlie. These days are the best days.

Matthew Knight - Vice President
Solar is incredible; every day presents a new challenge to overcome. Throughout my career, nothing has ever been as satisfying as turning on a solar installation and seeing the meter run backward. The solar industry is always evolving with new products and I enjoy researching and keeping up with the newest products available. I enjoy spending time with my family and have always had a love for video games and building computers. I even won a few gaming competitions when i was younger.

Sam Pierog - Analyst
I have been in solar since 2014 with a wide range of roles from site survey, installation, system design and consultation. I gravitate towards the technical side of solar and love to take-on unique scenarios to find the right solution for homeowners who have challenging energy needs. I'm a fan of the outdoors and can often be found out snowboarding with my wife and daughter or hiking with my dog Zoe. I typically have Zoe by my side so if I'm doing a site visit, or you visit our Lexington office, she will probably be there to greet you as well.

Josh Klipp - Analyst
I love working with good people who focus on producing quality work and creating the best possible experience for our customers. I started in solar in 2020 doing site survey and design work. I then worked on the install side for 3 years before moving into the analyst position, and have really enjoyed being able to use my experience from that time towards finding creative solutions for new projects.
My fiancé Liz and I moved up to MA from Long Island and adopted a dog named Arnold. -

Naief Medina - Analyst
Since joining the solar industry in 2018, very few things have brought me a greater sense of pride than driving past a solar project that I either helped design, install or manage. When I am not helping a home go solar, I am typically on the hunt for the next "thing" I want to learn more about. My first big passion in life was health and wellness, the journey to learn more about my body, mind and spirit helped me gain a greater level of appreciation for people, life and our planet.
Around 2015, I started becoming fascinated by the world of technology & engineering. It helped me see ways that I could help, even if in a small way, to make life a little less stressful for myself and everyone around me. For fun and to fuel the competitive part of myself, I also like to play all sorts of games from chess, video games and card games. It helps that I run and own a little card shop!

Byron Johnson - Project Manager
Getting the chance to empower people to energy independence is a fulfilling daily opportunity. Helping people make that step is even easier here on a team that truly cares about our customers and the solar industry as a whole. If I wasn’t in the solar industry I’d be helping people as a ski guide because I love the mountains especially if I can slide down them! When I’m not helping people go solar you can find me on a hike with my dogs, playing tennis or a round of golf, or playing pool with friends.

Whether I’m coordinating with our amazing technicians or working with manufacturers to resolve service requests, I love being part of a team that’s dedicated to making a difference and constantly improving. One of the things I cherish most about working at Great Sky Solar is the sense of family we’ve built here.

I'm simply happy to know each project we do works towards a benefit to everyone of our clients. I know Great Sky Solar considers each person's needs while advising practicality and flexibility to homeowner's systems.
Outside of work I couldn't ask for more if I started my morning in the cool New England air followed by some warm breakfast. Then driving out to friends and families during the day and wrapping up the day stretching my creative muscle working on art projects all the while vibing to music. -
