ABOUT ME

Currently an associate at Hudson Clean Energy Partners (clean energy private equity firm) where I'm responsible for market and policy analysis to advise the firm’s portfolio management and new investment strategy. I've also recently finished up a Masters in Energy Finance and Policy at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs. I also currently serve as a Chapter Director of the New York City Young Professionals in Energy Board of Directors. YPE's primary objective is to facilitate community building, thought leadership, and service events around the world.In my "spare" time, I have fun with a handful of side projects.During my first semester of grad school, I moonlighted as an investment banker, with the Asset Finance & Leasing group at Deutsche Bank in NY.That's me professionally... personally, I'm a fairly relaxed guy, and like skydiving, skiing, riding my bike, chasing awesome things, and finding new places to eat in NYC.

PHILOSOPHY

Die for the experience... live for the story.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have too much couch surfing experience, having only _actually_ ever surfed once through the website... but I surf a lot with old friends, friends of friends, and new friends when I meet them!
