Patrick Mueller grew up in Colorado, and in 10 years spent living in four other states and two foreign countries, he has yet to find any place better. He returned in 2007 to pursue work in renewable energies, acting on his firm belief in global change through local action. Courses in geology and the environment during his education at Pomona College (CA) gave him a basic understanding of the potential of and need for renewables, and living in Germany and Denmark further fueled this interest. He is continually working to expand his knowledge of green practices through classes and individual research. He has been installing with Bella since November of 2007.

Colorado Connections: Patrick grew up skiing and backpacking through the backcountry of Colorado and the Southwest, and he spent a summer leading trips and directing the arts program at Sanborn Western Camps in Florissant. Since high school Patrick has been a bike and public transit commuter, and has only recently become a car owner, one with the EPA’s SmartWay rating, naturally. An active professional artist, Patrick spends his free time cultivating Denver's budding dance scene.
