About Blake Zimmerman
Senior Sales Executive in Houston, TX
Blake Zimmerman is a Power and Renewable Energy Professional located near Houston, TX. Seeing the future of distributed power and renewable energy, Blake has made an powerful impact through his knowledge and expertise in many different fields within the industry.
Graduating from Texas A&M in 1994 with a B.S. in Engineering, Industrial Distribution, Blake has used his knowledge and passion for problem solving, sales, application engineering, and system design to make a mark in the companies he’s worked for.
Blake Zimmerman has used his combined 20+ years of experience in the power and oil industry to continue to improve and innovate within the industry. Beginning in 1995, Blake Zimmerman was a Sales Engineer for The Tennant Company until 2000. Blake then transitioned to Packaging Resources Inc as a Managing Partner until 2008 when he began working as the North America Sales Manager, Oil & Gas, for Capstone Turbine Corporation. Blake then saw further opportunity to use his knowledge and background to assist even more companies, such as Horizon Power Systems Inc and Diverse Energy Systems. Recognizing the power demand for energizing that was increasing, Blake was then able to tap into a market that allowed him to assist in distributing power generation and MicroGrid Solutions for production.
Blake has also served as a Senior Sales Executive at Enchanted Rock LTD, a company that provides design, installation, operations, and maintenance of over 300 MW of distributed generation sites across Texas. With no utility grid in place, Blake and his team were able to put in distributed generation to offset the gap between the grid getting placed and their production. Once the grid had been placed, Blake and his team provided backup power for customers. This type of work helps companies manage the physical and financial risk associated with power.
A firm believer in the value of family, Blake makes sure that he spends just as much time with his family as he devotes to his professional life. After purchasing a ranch about 45 minutes northwest of Houston, Blake and his family began producing sausage and smoked products for a successful local meat market that holds a high reputation in their community. Active members of their chamber of commerce, Blake and his family are considered pillars of their community. Blake even purchased a restaurant that’s been his family since 1939 and is now a 3rd generation owner with his wife managing the restaurant. Blake enjoys taking his family to the A&M Aggies football games, traveling, and taking in live music.
