About

I build companies that commercialize breakthrough technologies in large, established markets. I've learned what it takes to manipulate atoms and bits, and I've found that the best solutions often require both.At LOA Carbon we build modular reactors that produce synthetic natural gas on site, from inputs you can get anywhere. The resulting fuel is drop-in compatible with fossil natural gas. Our systems can produce gas for less than it costs to import fossil LNG and regasify it. If you run gas infrastructure or industrial heat, or you set energy policy for a place that imports its fuel, this is the difference between depending on a tanker and owning your own supply. Our technology offers energy security and new pathways for decarbonization.Historically, I haven't been too active on LinkedIn. I'm trying to change that. I aim to post 1-2 times a week, mostly about four things: energy security, what it takes to build a synthetic fuels company, what I've learned shipping hardware across four companies, and the occasional commentary on what it's like to be a founder.If you're working on energy security, climate infrastructure, or the future of fuel, reach out.
