I’ve spent most of my work years helping people launch schools and learning tools at places like KIPP, New York City Charter Center, and 4.0. 20 years ago, I started a night-time hobby to take my mind off work and recharge; converting old motorcycles to electric. A few of them made it into print, on TV, and even into an art show about a rock band from the future.

EV-modding led me to my first angel investment in B2U, operator of the largest 2nd-life EV battery power plant in the US. Since then, I’ve met curious founders finding ways to unlock value for every day people as we electrify more and more of our petrol-powered world.
