Leveraging a life-long interest in alternative and renewable energy, Howard Coffman launched www.fuelcell-info.com in April 2002. This vertical industry portal caters to the informational needs of its registered members via outreach, promotional, and lead generation programs for its member vendors. Industry players (large and small) can create a branded promotional presence beyond their corporate site thereby extending their reach to a highly qualified, opt-in audience. In the two years that the site was active, fuelcell-info.com registered more than 8,000 members.

In March 2003, Mr. Coffman has served as Fuel Cell discussion moderator at the Harvard Business School Cyberposium. The Cyberposium is the world's premier MBA technology conference that attracts over 1,500 participants each year. Coffman has also moderated the Fuel Cell discussion at the recent New England Governors' Conference. In March 2004, Mr. Coffman was invited and delivered a keynote address at the The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (tms.org) international meeting.

Prior to this venture, Mr. Coffman has worked in Internet property development, software development, and niche market publishing including Lycos and Digital Equipment Corporation. Mr. Coffman has published twelve books, seven of which he has written. His reference publications have been sold to industry professionals in more than 40 countries. Mr. Coffman holds a B.A. from the State University of New York at Buffalo where he graduated Cum Laude with Honors with Distinction.
