I am a founder in my late twenties, born, and raised in Texas. I left for New York to become an entrepreneur, because I imagined that New York would be an established launch pad for exposure to diverse culture and business. I am a process development engineer; I like to define processes that I cannot see, whether zoomed in all the way to a genome or zoomed out using satellite imagery, either way, I can analyze and extract key patterns to solve problems. I have a background in real estate and, at a young age, became fascinated with how we built cities. The ability to see a city’s structure from the window of a plane made me want to solve a thought experiment I had: if every community had access to food, water, energy, and shelter, what would they build? Now, I do this for FinSat by focusing on improving P&L efficiency in businesses, and thereby catalyzing the climate transition for longterm socioeconomic prosperity. FinSat is like the Bloomberg for Climate Finance… developing AI geospatial, weather, and financial models to predict vulnerabilities in the energy, water, and agriculture sectors and transforming those risks into climate financing tools. I like listening to jazz on Sundays, reading non- fiction books (even though my favorite book is the Odyssey), and watching my favorite movie The Princess Bride on repeat (“Inconceivable”). I enjoy building a business with my team from around the world as I find there to be a lot of value in understanding how other people live, work, and build culture in their communities. It helps me stay true to one of our company values, “people over technology,” which uses technology as a tool to secure local resources in communities using the stakeholder capitalism playbook.
