I enjoy helping create things that did not exist before, largely in the context of energy - successful technology startups, applied physics breakthroughs, oil & gas discoveries - those kinds of things.My motivation is encountering the insights, the relationships, the fun and the value in situations that emerge from the fuzz of early uncertainty and progress to become real and lasting.I'm an energy realist, playing the long game to the betterment of humanity in balancing baseload primary energy sources both new and established.
