Sustainability and Community Benefit Consultants
About Us
Eighth Generation Consulting
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 in computer literacy, was fueled by a used laptop gifted to me with a simple directive: make the world a bit better.
Before too long, I shifted into various technical projects, ranging from archival work for award-winning photographers and coordinated tech overhauls. Our focus gradually shifted towards sustainability, reflecting my work as a renewable energy advocate, culminating in serving as primary author for the City of Carbondale's Sustainability Plan, recognized at the UN's COP 15 Biodiversity Conference.
After a while, my worn-out laptop was replaced, and our mission expanded. Recognizing the need to bridge economic and sustainability issues across various sectors, we pivoted towards ‘cross-sector collaboration’. 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 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 a bit better.”
