Pierre Boehler was until recently a life-long resident of the Washington, DC area. He currently lives in Marblehead, MA. His brother Paul has been with My Own Place since 2004 and shares the Bellevue Street house in Silver Spring with two other gentlemen. Growing up with Paul gave Pierre an acute awareness of the special needs of people with disabilities, as well as their potential when provided with the proper resources.

Pierre received his BS in engineering from Cornell University and MS in engineering management from Catholic University in DC. He is the Subject Matter Expert for gas turbine technology for NRG Energy, with 40 years of experience in his field. NRG supplies electricity to the Texas grid and other grids around the country. As the corporate expert for his field, Pierre addresses “cradle to grave” issues from purchase and operation of new equipment through retirement.

Pierre serves on the steering committee for the Combustion Turbine Operations Task Force and the ASME IGTI Electric Power committee. He has also volunteered in various capacities for the College Park Boys & Girls club.
