Trifecta Renewable Energy's Vision

Ms. Bergeron later changed her focus to Commercial and Creative Finance with a specialty in securing capital for complex transactions within the Private Capital market(s), primarily within the Tax Credit market space.  She has established a broad network of individuals, companies, and institutions instrumental in bringing value to the needs of her clients. Most distinguishing, Erica is especially successful serving as a calming force for the chaos inherent in difficult projects.  She skillfully untangles and brings order to immensely complex, multifaceted transactions, all while creating transparency, setting priorities, managing expectations, and facilitating a trusted consensus among all parties. Her strength in securing solutions for complex transactions, ability to manage a range of personalities and problem solve while maintaining a fair but firm environment, has been paramount to the success of the projects she has been involved with.

Erica loves the outdoors but when given the chance would rather be home with family and a strong cup of coffee.  Her charitable interests center primarily on troubled youth and efforts that bring hope, safety, education, and an opportunity for a better life.

Since 2006, Joseph has been the head of his own New Orleans real estate development firm. Initially focused on delivering urgently needed affordable housing in the wake of the levee collapses triggered by Hurricane Katrina, Joseph’s companies built 300 units throughout New Orleans, including the Warehouse District, Marigny, Treme and nearby Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Ward locations. These were “ground up” new construction projects, including Louisiana’s largest modular construction apartment building, as well as two historic redevelopments that brought crumbling, neglected buildings back into commerce. In many of the projects Joseph has been involved, he has used his knowledge of government subsidized low income housing tax credits to help provide funding. Expanding into Baton Rouge he restored 140 affordable units. In recent years he has focused on developing solar generating projects.


Prior to developing on his own account, Joseph served on the senior staff of both the Modernization and the Development Departments of the Housing Authority of New Orleans, as Staff Architect, Senior Project Manager, and Director of Modernization. While Director, he handled the installation of new underground utilities at the Iberville, Lafitte and St. Bernard Developments and oversaw the design and construction of the Fischer Elderly facility (100 units) and new, insulated concrete form construction of 16 units at Hendee Homes. In this regard, Joseph’s tenure at the New Orleans Department of Safety and Permits and his experience there as Assistant to the Director in charge of Permitting and Senior Plans Examiner served him well.

Joseph holds a Bachelor of Science Degree with honors from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. He initially came to New Orleans for graduate work in architecture at Tulane University School of Architecture.

During that period, Robert actively participated in the creation of several companies and gave operational and managerial support to these new ventures. Even though Robert’s activities have centered around operations in general, serving as President and/or CEO, he has also been instrumental in the efforts of the companies he had stewardship over to expand and grow in both the United States and abroad.

Roberts strategic relationships over the span of 3 decades has allowed him to build a team of professionals including tax, immigration and securities professionals to successfully guide domestic and international investors through the process of a government program called EB5.  Robert successfully raised capital for, started and oversaw several companies using EB5 funding.  These companies were centered around merchant processing and real estate development.

Robert also served as President of the International Cultural and Economic Exchange of Utah, working closely with local and State Government representatives. Robert has strong international relationships, having led two major business delegations to mainland China made up of prominent businessmen and women including political leaders from the State of Utah. Most of Robert’s activities between 2014 and 2019 centered around these relationships to expand and grow the companies he was involved with. These contacts during the COVID pandemic, opened the door for Robert to offer his services and strategic relationships to help facilitate the delivery of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to hospitals, medical facilities and government agencies that were searching for and in need of these items.

Currently Robert has returned his focus to his home State of Utah where he oversees business development as a Co-Founder and Partner of Trifecta Renewable, Inc.
