Using my superpowers for good

15 years ago I didn't know what a recruiter did.

10 years ago I started a recruiting agency to support founders who were still building their recruiting muscle.

5 years ago I realized that it isn't just about me. (see pic above)

Today I am thrilled to have the opportunity to use my superpowers for a cause that I am passionate about - developing and deploying technology that powers sustainable energy and empowers sustainable civilization.

2020 was hard for a lot of reasons. It is no fun being stuck inside running air purifiers while fires destroy our countryside. These fires and now freezes have gotten progressively worse in just the last 5 years. What will our children inherit if this continues?

What am I going to do about it?

I'm neither a scientist nor an engineer. My superpower that I have developed the last 15 years is assembling teams of amazing people to execute on daunting engineering feats. Never have the stakes been quite this high - to prevent the Earth from melting.

We will need some of the biggest brains with even bigger hearts to contribute to transitioning humans to a sustainable energy source.

Fortunately, the sun is at our backs ;-)
