AuthorAccelerate This! A Super Not Boring Guide To Startup Accelerators And Clean Energy Entrepreneurship Nov 2018 - PresentSoooo, what is an accelerator, and how do they actually work?

Accelerator And Fund Architect For The Carbontech LabsCarbon180 Jan 2018 - Jan 2019Washington, District Of Columbia, UsThis is one of the most important accelerators I’m supporting right now. To be direct: without a significant amount of carbon removal/carbontech, life on Earth will suffer immeasurably. Aka, even if we stopped polluting today (which we are not - we will hopefully peak emissions around 2040 and then decline until almost 2100), this is completely necessary. This pro-business, for-profit approach by CCR is exactly right, and I encourage anyone serious about the world and climate to come and get educated on this completely cutting edge field of tech. -

Carbon Offset Antagonisto & ChiefBurning Man Oct 2015 - Jun 2017San Francisco, Ca, UsWe all have a side hustle. Ideally they are some sort of passive income thing that greases the wheels while requiring minimal management time. This project took a ridiculous amount of time, was emotionally draining and paid nothing. Smart. And yet, it has been one of my proudest accomplishments. Long story short, as a long time Burner I felt that we were derelict in our duty to be Leave No Trace as a community, conveniently ignoring the big, fat trace we were leaving in the atmosphere mainly (80%) through vehicle emissions and thereby part of the problem in terms of global climate change. I started a change.org petition, got the board to recognize carbon pollution as part of BM's trace, and then created and ran a carbon offset program for two years, in partnership with C-Quest Capital and TerraPass. That program is now being managed by Black Rock Labs from within BM itself, and my negative profitable side hustle has matriculated beyond me. Victory! ...sort of. It's still a voluntary program, so unless 100% of festival goers pony up and proactively buy an offset, Burning Man is still leaving a trace. Stay tuned. -
Systems DesignerCalifornia Clean Power Nov 2014 - May 2015California Clean Power helps cities and counties source and manage their own utility-scale power, a system called Community Choice Aggregation (CCA). When communities can buy their own power, the result is cheaper power with higher mix of renewables. California Clean Power handles the implementation process of Community Choice from start-to-finish, including putting together the intricacies of a feasibility study, managing regulatory filings and utility cooperation, power purchasing, legal support, raising public awareness, providing customer service and more.I oversaw the mapping out and tech build of our technology: infrastructure for meter data processing, bill creation and transmission, EDI transmissions, back-end banking system, front and back end website build and call center technology and staffing systems.
