Scott Hyde|CRO

Scott is a passionate entrepreneur who has lived by optimism and an unshakeable belief in abundance and hard work. Growing up pulling nails from scrap lumber and cleaning up job sites at his father’s custom home projects, he learned that some things can’t be done unless you roll up your sleeves and get to work. He grew up on a small ranch, raising sheep, cows, pigs, and horses and earned money through the 4-H program to buy his school clothes and saved enough to serve a mission for his church.

Michael Cozzie|CFO

Michael grew up in the south side of Chicago from a humble beginnings and learned the value of entrepreneurship with a paper route at age 7, where he achieved his goal and bought his first drum set. Before moving to the west coast, Cozzie owned and operated a Conoco gas station and learned how to turn a profit on margins squeezed from convenience store candy bars and purchasing gas on futures. Learning about renewable energy in 2014, Mike bet his future on it, selling his store and moving to California the next year where he opened a new office for Vivint Solar in San Luis Obispo. In his first year, with very little resources given to him, Mike quickly became the number one sales rep in the company, personally responsible for nearly 50 installs a quarter. Mike grew through Vivint’s leadership channel until they shut down his market and he transitioned to Ion Solar where he met and began working with Scott Hyde. Their partnership formed half of what would be KOTA Energy Group.

Kevin Radebaugh|President

Kevin grew up in the hotbed of door to door sales, right in the heart of Utah county. As a self proclaimed “hippy”, Kevin first saw the world differently living in Brazil after high school. He found that humanitarian efforts and being a steward of the earth were very meaningful and inspiring to him. Serving a mission for his church in Michigan, Radebaugh learned selflessness and hard work and his love for his fellowman deepened. Despite his desire to show off his creative flair on roller blades, he instead channeled that energy into his sales roles at Vivint. Working closely with the current leaders of Vivint Inc and Vivint Solar, Kevin applied his natural affinity to “gameify” and improve the experience for himself and his teams. In 2013 Kevin aligned his love for nature and the “going green” movement to his career and began selling solar door to door. Later at American Solar Direct, as the Director of Sales, he met and worked closely with Cole De Arman and formed what would become the other half of KOTA Energy Group.
