Ed Strobel was a Solar Pioneer in the Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean Marketplaces.

Prior to Sunshine Solar Services, Inc, Ed had various sales management and executive roles in the infrastructure sector of the computer industry including positions with fortune 500 companies Dell Computer, EMC, Sun Microsystems, Inc and Hewlett-Packard. He also has experience with smaller companies in the industry including the Qualix group which had a successful public offering followed by a merger with Legato and then a buyout by EMC.
