About

I’m an internationally fluent strategic consultant focused on solutions to the grand challenges of our time: climate change and (bio)diversity loss. I like to think of my work as integrating change between people, systems, and nature. Professionally, I have applied this intersectional expertise in numerous contexts, including NGOs, all levels of government, academic institutions, and trans-national corporations.

Here’s a few things to know about me: 

     • Avid outdoorsman and nature lover 

     • Believer in community and in the importance of place

     • Hikes + bikes + trails + accessibility + active + transport

I grew up mildly feral on our family farm in the Irish Hills of southern Michigan with summers based at an off-grid camp on the forested shores of a lake in northern Ontario. My love of nature was infused from a young age through countless hours exploring, playing, and working the farm/forest. I moved away to the urban jungle of St. Louis, Missouri and earned a BS in environmental science, followed by a MS in geographic systems from Eastern Michigan University. Combine my education with stretches living & working abroad, and I’d suggest that I offer a uniquely holistic and strategic perspective.

I’m based in the Irish Hills area of southern Michigan with my wife, pup and a growing flock of farm family food friends. Anyways, enough about me… how about you? Reach out today and let’s discuss how we can partner for the planet!
