More Than the Sum of Its Parts
My career has been a deliberate accumulation of perspectives. Fifteen years in investment banking taught me how systems are structured and scaled. Seven years traveling across 30 countries showed me how communities build resilience. As founder of ModGarden, I learned how to bring organic vertical farming into cities. And now, through designing and building food forests for specific communities, I've discovered something profound: the same principles that govern soil health, carbon cycles, and ecosystem regeneration also apply to organizational health, financial systems, and human wellbeing.
I'm not tied to a single solution. I'm obsessed with understanding living systems—how they work, how they fail, and how they can be restored. Whether it's remediating degraded soil, designing urban gardens for food-insecure communities, advising governments on land management, or helping large operations reduce carbon while improving health outcomes, the underlying principle is the same: work with nature's logic, not against it.
