Mr. Farrell began his career in the United Kingdom where he completed a four year Steel Industry recognized apprenticeship and college education in Process Control and Instrumentation, at North Lindsey College of Technology, UK.

Post degree it became apparent that the late eighties was the Oil and Gas Industry’s “boom time”. This prompted Mr. Farrell to travel to the Middle East and Asia where, over the next 15 years, he resided in various countries and worked at some of the world’s largest and most complex projects in the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical industry. He is recognized in this Industry for both professional expertise and integrity and for his experience in the execution and management of large complex projects.

Mr. Farrell next moved to the United States to develop and expand an emerging Controls and Integration Company which supplied state of the art technologies and solutions to the on and off-shore Oil and Gas Industry. Six years later, he accepted a senior management position at a prestigious OEM company involved in gas turbine power generation where he devoted his time to major Fortune 500 clients working on various global greenfield and brownfield projects.

After five years, Mr. Farrell joined a major EPC company to manage their Global Construction and Commissioning Division. He successfully executed the integration, commissioning and startup of various large, complex oil and gas facilities. These included LNG terminals, pipelines, metal refineries and offshore production facility vessels in both domestic and global locations.

Mr. Farrell was then led to lend his knowledge, experience and leverage, gained in his various technical and executive positions in the fast-growing renewable energy market, to Audubon Engineering Corporation, an emerging boutique engineering company.

Mr. Farrell is proud to be a naturalized American citizen.
