Cutter is a licensed civil engineer and has collected a tremendous breadth of experience in the land development industry since graduating from Virginia Tech’s rigorous Land Development and Design Initiative program in 2013. His ability to recognize trends and identify opportunities led him to the renewable energy industry where he has had a primary focus since 2017.

Reputation is a valuable commodity in service-based industries, and Cutter has developed one as a go-to expert of high character and ability. Whether it is guiding a developer through the early-stage development hurdles, working thru complex designs and permitting requirements with an EPC, or representing the industry as a technical expert in state and local working groups, Cutter is regularly requested at the table by stakeholders from all stages of the project lifecycle.

Cutter’s background lends a rare perspective to the industry – he is still seen regularly with his father and brother at Sydnor Farms, a grain, vegetable, and cattle operation in Haynesville, Virginia recognized by the state as a Virginia Century Farm. Experience inside and outside of the office gives Cutter a unique ability to understand the solar industry as a whole; rather than a siloed design approach, he believes in engaging a broad array of team members and interested parties to solve problems and strengthen projects.
