Board of Directors

Will Corse grew up on the Sunshine Coast and continues to call ch\'atlich (Sechelt) home, where he lives with his wife and their dog.

For the past 12 years, he has specialized in the high-voltage electrical sector, where he currently leads a diverse team of experts.

Will is passionate about renewable energy and has a deep commitment to sustainability. His values align with the Loon Foundation's mission, and he is keen to help realize the potential for innovation in construction to support environmental stewardship.

In his spare time, Will is an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys paddleboarding and exploring the Sunshine Coast. His decision to join the Loon Foundation and PODS comes from a desire to give back to the community that shaped him, with a particular focus on helping future generations, including his nieces and nephews, connect with the natural world.
