Keith Carson
he/him
Director of Environment and Science Communications
As Director of Environmental and Science Communications, Keith educates Mainers on the science of climate change, clean energy, and other environmental topics. He works to broaden the group of people who are interested in making positive changes for the earth, even if they are motivated by different reasons. His methods to achieve this are a little unorthodox and often riddled with humor.
Favorite one-hit wonder: “Break My Stride” by Matthew Wilder

Peter Eiermann
he/him
Director of Operations and Human Resources
Peter Eiermann is MCV’s Operations and Human Resources Director, spending his days wrangling haywire computers, reviewing coffee expenses with the seriousness of a federal audit, and quietly wondering why the entire staff hasn’t memorized the chart of accounts by heart. He speaks fluent QuickBooks, negotiates peace treaties between Ramp and reality, and he’ll never turn down a chance to blast “Rockin’ in the Free World” on the drive home.
