Dr. Brien A. Seeley is President and Founder of the Sustainable Aviation Foundation. He is also an ophthalmologist in private practice in Santa Rosa since 1977. He is a Senior Member of AIAA, a pilot, and designer/builder of experimental aircraft. He founded the Electric Aircraft Movement in 2007 by organizing and chairing the world’s first-ever electric aircraft conference and went on to curate and chair its annual international meetings. He conceived, wrote and chaired the 2011 NASA Green Flight Challenge and founded the Personal Aircraft Design Academy. While a medical intern at UC Davis and during the 1973 gasoline crisis, when Elon Musk was just one year old, Dr. Seeley designed and scratch-built his own 70 mph, freeway-licensed electrically-powered sportscar and drove it to the hospital each day.
