Building a zero-carbon energy system

I have a background in consulting, primarily in energy & natural resources (think: electric utilities, gold mines, oil & gas pipelines). This has given me a visceral appreciation for the wondrous complexity of our built civilization and the industrial processes that underpin it, but also the many opportunities that exist to further improve.

I’m currently focused on the ongoing, could-be-faster shift to a zero-carbon energy system that is safe, reliable, and affordable. We sit at a unique moment on the potential cusp of energy abundance, and I’m excited to play my part in that.

I’ve recently moved back to Los Angeles after more than a decade in Canada and the US northeast, and am making up for lost time in play-testing my ‘Infrastructure Tour of the Southwest’ which currently includes such highlights as SpaceX launches at Vandenberg, wind farms at Tehachapi, and the magnificent Hoover Dam.

I get deep joy from a good carne asada taco, Montreal-style bagels, and Tim Horton’s coffee, which leads to a somewhat peripatetic food life that I’m thankful my wife willingly shares.
