OUR story

While through hiking 1,500 miles on the Appalachian Trail in 1996, Aaron LeMieux wondered how to take the kinetic energy of his backpack and convert it into usable electricity.  By 2007, Aaron founded Tremont Electric, and by 2009, nPower® technology was patented and the first nPower® PEG was launched, the most acclaimed clean energy technology to emerge from the industrial rust belt city of Cleveland, Ohio, or anywhere, in a generation.

Before founding a clean energy startup, Aaron was a crisis and business turnaround manager for small-cap manufacturing companies in Northeast Ohio for over ten years, learning manufacturing technologies from the ground up in capital constrained environments.  Aaron was an important consultant for the launch of Alcoa Subassembly and Logistics (ASL), a Just-In-Time facility serving the Freightliner division of Daimler Chrysler.  Aaron collaborated with Stryker Howmedia Osteonics to develop a manufacturing method for implantable devices.  Aaron has served in the US Naval Reserves.

With five granted US Patents to date, Aaron holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toledo with a specialization in Biomedical Engineering.  Aaron lives with his wife Jill and their two dogs Harvey and Bianca, in the company's namesake neighborhood of Tremont in Cleveland, Ohio.
