    In addition to his work at the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the Channel Manager appears from time to time in classrooms and at student assemblies, science teacher professional development workshops, school gatherings, parades and other civic functions, where he uses discrepent event props to answer questions about energy, talks about EIA's Kid's Page and thoughts behind DOE's Kids Zone. If you’d like a visit (Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC areas only, please), e-mail this website's Channel Manager. If there is one message he would like to leave with his audiences, it is this: "Turn out the lights. Please, turn out the lights."
