Hire me

I'm a native New Yorker, adopted Southerner and California transplant. Pre-med by aspiration, energy executive by profession and writer and artist by inspiration.

My career has spanned big power, management consulting, startups, public companies, and non profits. I have a book published on mystical Christianity and a number of additional manuscripts in the editing process. I've lived or worked in a good swath of the world including most of europe, a handful of countries in east and south africa, most of latin america and a few spots in southeast asia and australia.

My professional endeavors focus on different cleantech areas related to making sure our planet is still habitable in 100 years. I led the launch and growth of the LA Cleantech Incubator, and most notably was part of the founding team launching a global medium duty electric truck platform.

My current personal project is "The Finding Silence Project," which is a fine art photography and museum tour examination of the lessons that cloistered monks have learned which can be applied to modern busy living to develop inner peace and tranquility.

I live in Los Angeles with my daughter, Charley Sky.
