It all started with a used computer....

In 2011, I launched Saxon’s Computer Tutoring, a small venture combining my love for service with a knack for tech solutions. This passion project, born from years of volunteering at my local library teaching computer literacy to the community, was fueled by a used laptop gifted to me with a simple directive: make the world a bit better.

​

After a while, my worn-out laptop was replaced, and our mission expanded. I shifted into various technical projects, ranging from archival work for award-winning photographers and coordinated tech overhauls. Our focus gradually shifted towards sustainability and renewable energy, serving my as primary author for the City of Carbondale's Sustainability Plan. Recognizing the need to bridge economic and sustainability issues across various sectors, this reflected a pivot towards ‘cross-sector collaboration’ and the ability to achieve bigger and better goals by building stronger teams across various industries and institutional/organizational structures. Our team grew, handling projects with numerous stakeholders and contractors, prompting a name change to Eighth Generation Consulting, inspired by my Osage Nation heritage. 

​

Our journey has been humbling, filled with overwhelming support and opportunities. We’ve managed sustainability plans, land acquisition projects, grants, climate baseline reporting, educational seminars, and more. We've been recognized by MIT SOLVE's Indigenous Communities Fellowship, as well as Grid Alternatives Tribal Energy Innovators, and are winners of the 2024 Department of Energy Community Energy Innovation Prize. We’ve learned that great ideas need collaboration, support, and refinement.

​

We invite you to connect with us, to find solutions together. Our success is tied to our clients, and to the mission that started it all: “making the world just a bit better.”
