MIU alum Troy Van Beek installing solar panels for his company, Ideal Energy

As a US Navy Seal, Troy van Beek worked for 9 years in some of the most hostile and dangerous places on Earth. His last tour of duty was in Afghanistan, where he was the lead sniper protecting the Afghan president for two years.

After graduating from MIU, Troy and his wife Amy had a mission to drive the change towards sustainable energy. They founded Ideal Energy to help businesses and individuals invest in clean energy and save money by installing solar arrays.

Since 2009, Ideal Energy has become one of the largest solar companies in Iowa.
