Native Sun Energy Company is founder-led and principally tribal-member owned. The Company is independently owned and is not owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with the Chickasaw Nation as a sovereign government. Founder Preston Porter — a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, a U.S. Army combat veteran, and the named inventor on the Company's patent filings — sits at the top of the cap table. Supported by a nine-member Board of Directors, a seated Advisory Board of strategic counsel, and a lean operating team scaled with milestones.
Preston Porter is the Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of Native Sun Energy Company. He is a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, a United States Army combat veteran, and the named inventor on Native Sun Technology Company's pending patent filings.
Before founding NSEC in December 2024, Preston spent more than seven years in commercial construction — schedules, permits, general contracting, project management. He knows how to build things and how to finish them. When he came home from a Somalia deployment in the spring of 2024, he redirected toward the infrastructure layer he had always been more interested in: electrical and civil engineering, master planning and design, and energy systems.
The mission on day one is the mission today: build the American clean-energy and advanced-manufacturing platform that keeps jobs and product on American soil, and put ownership of the grid — panel by panel, PPA by PPA — into the hands of the municipalities, tribes, and communities that host it.
The operating leadership running Native Sun Energy day-to-day. Founder-led, with senior officers staffed at standard separation-of-duties for corporate governance.

The Advisory Board provides specialized counsel in capital markets, regulatory and FERC strategy, advanced manufacturing, and national policy. Advisory members serve in a non-fiduciary, non-voting capacity — they do not sit on the Board of Directors, do not exercise governance authority, and have no role in related-party decisioning or executive compensation. Their input is advisory only.

Values earn their place by doing work, not by showing up in a slide deck. These five have been tested and retained.
National and tribal-member sovereignty are organizing principles of our work. We build structures that strengthen them, never erode them.
Every person in this company was hired because they want to do work that matters. We will hold them, and ourselves, to that standard.
The land we work on will be treated with the respect it is owed, and returned to the community in better condition than we found it.
We do not hide capital structure, governance, or risk from the people whose trust we have asked for.
We show up. We do the work. We keep learning. We do not quit.
