Energy policy. Infrastructure intelligence. Building with AI.
A decade in government and energy policy, from the Missouri Senate floor to multi-state transmission permitting, taught me that good projects fail when they can't manage stakeholders. My Duke research studied why, and I spent three years proving it on an 800-mile, 2,500 MW HVDC transmission project across four states.
