As one of the early two developers, starting when Mission was less than one year old, Mr. Wagner played key roles in development of some of Mission's first projects outside of California, including Nevada, and the first large cogeneration project developed in the Pacific NW, the 120 MW March Point project at Anacortes, WA. He also was one of four employees from Mission's Irvine office who started the East Coast branch office in Fairfax VA, leading the development teams as the regional development manager for nearly 3 years.
