About
Enthusiastic, if nothing else. I build climate companies. Ethic was the first, a sustainable investing platform I co-founded that we grew to $7.5 billion in assets under management before I stepped back from day-to-day operations and into a board member role. Now my focus is Resilience Energy. We're building the first distributed utility powered by American homes, partnering with residential portfolio owners to deploy solar-plus-storage, aggregate the capacity, and dispatch it to the grid. No interconnection queue. No new transmission. The AI economy needs 93GW of new power by 2029 and the grid can't deliver it. Distributed residential can, and the families whose homes power the AI buildout should capture the value from it, not just the cost. On the side, I work on closing the $800billion nature finance gap by making nature institutionally investable through THE NAT. That's my philanthropy and my activism. I build in public. Follow along if capital at the edge of climate and energy is where your head is to

Resilience Energy is building the first distributed utility powered by American homes. The AI economy needs 93GW of new power by 2029. The grid can't deliver it, not through new transmission, not through the interconnection queue, not in time. Distributed residential can. We partner with residential portfolio owners to deploy solar-plus-storage at scale, aggregate that capacity into a single dispatchable grid resource, and deliver clean, fast, community-supported power to a grid that needs it yesterday. No queue. No new transmission. No community opposition, because the communities whose homes power the AI buildout are partners in it, not bystanders to it. The largest power grid in the world is already built. We're unlocking it.

THE NAT · New York, United States
Jan 2024 – Present
THE NAT is a philanthropic organisation built on a simple conviction: in order to close the $800billion nature finance gap, we need to make nature institutionally investable. For too long, protecting nature has depended on donor goodwill and foundation patience. That model is too slow and too fragile for the scale of what we're losing. THE NAT exists to change the underlying structure, building the financial architecture that makes nature commercially self-sustaining, and convening the institutional investors, conservation leaders, researchers, and cultural figures who together have the standing to shift how the world values nature. Our focus: oceans, forests, and regenerative food systems, the three natural systems most critical to a liveable planet, and most in need of a new financial model.
