About me

I began my career as a wildlife biologist breeding and releasing endangered species back to the wild, but I quickly learned that I didn’t want to keep a few species from teetering into extinction. I wanted to keep them from approaching that point in the first place. Since then, I’ve spent my career implementing and investing in strategies that allow both humans and nature to thrive together, driven by a belief that technological, economic, and human progress are crucial ingredients of environmental protection.

I’m currently a Fellow with The Roots of Progress Institute. See LinkedIn for my detailed professional experience. You can also find me on X and as a guest on the Modern Acre and My Climate Journey podcasts.
