Experience is a great teacher of knowledge and can act as an accelerant in determining how you want to make the most impact in life.

Currently, he is working on a startup to decarbonize food supply chains. He also hosts the Carbotnic Podcast where he has long-form conversations with experts in cleantech.
In the past he was the founder of Hale, a personal training marketplace.
