The team behind Fougner
Mike Chamberlain

Mike trained in electronics in the USAF and spent four years working in the defense industry after leaving the military. Due to defense cutbacks, he transitioned his career to the power industry. He trained and worked as an operator and E&I technician working at multiple plants. After earning his business degree, he was promoted to an operations supervisor. He worked 20+ years in the power industry. With his expertise he began working for engineering firms doing consulting work. Project management and instrumentation & control design is where he excels.
