CURRENT MISSION

To learn and contribute to making the planet sustainable for 7 billion people and counting.

ABOUT ME

I am originally from a small ranching community in Wyoming and grew up loving the pristine open spaces and mountains that surround my childhood home. After high school I underwent military training and got a bachelors degree in engineering through the Coast Guard which involved follow on active duty service in Oregon, the Great Lakes and Alaska and involved 4 years of sea time. I saved up some money during that time and I was able to travel around different parts of the world for a year visiting parts of Europe, Nepal, Southeast Asia and Peru. I completed a 1 year masters degree in sustainable energy systems in Edinburgh Scotland and recently started a job in Schenectady NY with General Electric's renewable energy business.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all connected to each other and everything else.
