about
- Snap Shot -
What I do: clean energy pro, specializing in general management, business development, marketing, policy and finance
Experience: 8 years working in clean tech and energy
Lives In: Boulder, CO, moved from Washington, D.C. in 2016
Enjoys: running (Marine Corps Marathon '16; Chicago Marathon '17), golf, skiing, travel, sailing, and dogs.
Ambitions: low carbon economy entrepreneurship and small business ownership
- My Story -
I didn't set out to work in clean tech, but after falling backwards into a job with the wind energy sector in 2011 I was hooked. Combine the excitement of new technology with the challenge of disrupting the biggest and most profitable industry on earth (everyone loves an underdog) and I knew I found my calling.
After six years in Washington D.C. where I lead a number of communications efforts focused on clean energy finance and policy, I set out for the mountains of Boulder, CO in late 2016 to join the Rocky Mountain Institute where I am today. My work currently focuses on corporate energy procurement and sustainability, as well as new finance and business models in the nascent methane abatement industry. I've also dabbled in advising on electrification strategies for the mining industry and blockchain applications for the low carbon energy business.

Blame my D.C. roots, but I'm an avid networker and would love to get to know you. Check out my CV below, my LinkedIn page, my blog and my Twitter account. And if you're ever in Boulder, drop me a line. We'll schedule a meeting on the ski slopes and take it from there.
