	Tom Van Cleave Utilities Analyst Email: tvancleave@weber.edu Phone: 801-626-6311
Tom has been with WSU for 33 years and was most recently the Director of Plant Operations. He is now semi-retired and is working as WSU's Utilities Analyst when he is not busy enjoying all of the things he loves to do. Tom has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Tech. from WSU. He is a Certified Energy Manager (CEM) and he is an Educational Facilities Professional (EFP). Tom has lived in Ogden all of his life. He and his wife Bonnie have 8 children, 22 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. He loves to play racquetball, "attempt" to play golf, and work out with weights. He and Bonnie love to travel, especially to the Oregon coast to visit car shows. He has an old Corvette that is in need of a constant supply of time and money. Tom says that "with all of the grandchildren, there is always something to do. I am teaching my youngest grandson racquetball and my goal is to stay active long enough to teach my great-grandson and great-granddaughter how to play the game." Tom has been working in energy management at WSU for over 20 years. With regard to his work, he says that: When I first started into this field, it was mostly on an "other duties as assigned" basis and consisted primarily of changing out the old T-12 lamps and magnetic ballasts when and if funds became available, which was infrequent at best. I have seen this industry grow and develop from a part-time position into to a highly technological, fun. exiting, career field. I totally enjoy all aspects of my new "job" and look forward to coming to work each day. Of course, the short term goal is to save the university energy through the implementation of technology and plain common sense, while providing a comfortable learning environment for our faculty, staff and students. On a much broader scope, I am a firm believer in the fact that we only have a limited amount of natural resources to meet the needs of an ever expanding world population. We need to be conscious of the world that we will be leaving to future generations and each of us needs to do our part, however small if may seem, to ensure that they will be able to have a quality life.
