Fearless Guide through transformative change

Resources

• Climate Career Transition Field Guide
• Five Minute Future meditation

I’ve helped hundreds, maybe thousands, of people make huge changes in the last 32 years and I’m only halfway to 90.

The elite group of world changing geniuses are who I’m drawn to help make changes because I know that you all can have the biggest impact in time to make a difference.

Making changes that allow humans to live well on planet Earth is completely possible.

I know it, can see it, have supported it, and have worked with over 100 of the people and companies who are taking carbon out of the air, bringing solutions online to decarbonize the built environment, building solutions to have fully renewable energy grids, and make the everyday things we need to have good lives.

I do not have climate anxiety because I can see the future where this elite group of geniuses helps us solve the problems that are putting our species at risk.

If you are a

• global leader ready to make huge change,
• an intrepid founder of a climate focused startup, or
• someone who wants to use your hard earned professional experience to work on a climate solution

then I have programs for you that will help you reach those goals that have been frustratingly out of reach.

I’m also a licensed Architect who has managed $100M in construction, worked in heavy manufacturing and education.

I practice woodturning as a meditation.
