SPD is committed to supporting projects that combat climate change, increase the sustainable elements of construction, and benefit the communities surrounding these initiatives. We also bolster our Advisory practice by bringing ESG- and energy-related code requirements into clear focus for our clients. For projects in which we play a more direct management role, we partner with organizations that provide sustainable solutions and conduct the cost/benefit analysis to ensure that green systems are integrated into new construction.

My first novel is The Expectations, published by Little, Brown in 2019. The second one--about climate change, ancient cave paintings, adoption, advertising, and people--is in progress.

Researched and co-wrote weekly newscast supporting Ryan Callaghan, MeatEater’s Director of Conservation.
