Please join us with our April speaker Aaron LeMieux of Tremont Electric, LLC. While backpacking on the Appalachian Trail, Aaron LeMieux was amazed at the number of disposable batteries he went through to power his radio and GPS. Simultaneously, he was very aware of his kinetic movement step after step, week after week, ans he hiked the trail. Thus, he envisioned an opportunity, and Tremont Electric LLC was born. Aaron's innovations have garnered international attention, most recently at the 2009 International Consumers Electronics Show. Investors from the government to Fortune 500 companies are interested in the technology as it has applications for the military, the urban walker, the mountain backpacker and for citizens in the developing world.
