For over four decades, I have traversed the length and breadth of the U.S. energy industry. I went from a teenager confronting apartment managers violating New York’s incinerator laws to a newly minted Princeton Ph.D. chemical engineer working for a major oil company and then spent decades occupying increasingly responsible management positions across the coal, utility, alternative/renewable, and, most recently, transportation electrification industries.

I have worked on major environmental and energy initiatives, led the development and financing of major energy projects, and managed the acquisition and sale of energy assets. Throughout this sojourn, I have focused on integrating public policy, technology, and commercial realities to create actionable investment strategies. I am politically independent, having sought senior energy policy roles in both Republican as well as Democratic administrations. As a result, I come to the climate debate as a seasoned industry practitioner who can “connect the dots” and tell the difference between the art of the possible and a step too far.
