In a world where energy is life, the fragility of the U.S. power grid puts millions at risk. From Texas freezes to California wildfires, we’ve all seen how natural disasters and grid failures can leave families in the dark, sometimes with devastating consequences. In these moments, people don’t want to wait to be rescued—they want to respond. That’s why we started Ovanova.
Our mission is simple but sweeping: to add as much value as possible to as many lives as possible. We believe energy independence is the new frontier of freedom—and through our flagship innovation, the Ovanova PET (Portable Energy Trailer), we’re empowering individuals and communities to reclaim control over their power.
A Personal Mission
At Ovanova, everything starts with people. My co-founders and I didn’t come together just to start another clean tech company. We united around the shared belief that we could build something bold enough to shift the energy landscape—and nimble enough to serve the real-world needs of families, schools, churches, and small businesses.
We’ve spent years working on rooftop microgrids, delivering clean, resilient power across 27 states and partnering with over 60 utilities. We helped hundreds of organizations apply for over $150 million in federal energy grants. And along the way, we donated tens of thousands of dollars to community institutions just for participating in our education programs. But even with all that impact, we knew we weren’t doing enough. Because when disaster strikes, solar panels on a roof don’t move.
So we asked ourselves: What if they could?

What inspired you to start your company?
What inspired me to start Red Line Safety was the cumulative loss and trauma I experienced over a 33-year career in the fire service. I’ve lost too many friends and co-workers in the line of duty, and even more to cancer, heart attacks, and other long-term health consequences of the job. At some point, those tragedies became more than just statistics—they became a personal call to action. I knew we could do better. I saw an opportunity to leverage technology to save lives, protect property, and give firefighters the tools they need to survive and thrive in the most dangerous environments. Red Line Safety was born from that vision—combining wearable tech, environmental sensors, and deployable communication systems to create a safer, smarter, and more connected fireground. It’s not just a company; it’s my mission.
What problem are you solving, and who benefits most from your solution?
We’re solving a deadly gap in firefighter safety, communication, and health monitoring—especially in environments where traditional tools simply don’t work. Whether it’s a remote wildland fire with no cellular service or a structure fire with toxic exposure risks, firefighters are often operating blind: no real-time vitals, no environmental awareness, no reliable connection to each other or command. Our solution bridges that gap. Red Line Safety’s wearable tech and deployable networks give firefighters and incident commanders critical, real-time data—biometrics, air quality, GPS location, and more—even in the most disconnected environments. The people who benefit most are the ones on the front lines, risking their lives for others. But the impact goes further—to their families, to the communities they protect, and to the agencies responsible for keeping them safe. This isn’t just about technology; it’s about making sure everyone goes home. While the immediate beneficiaries are firefighters and public safety agencies, the broader value touches insurers, municipalities, and emergency response networks. This is a multibillion-dollar market with increasing demand—and we’re positioned to lead it.
