I focus on the gap between fast-moving technology and the institutions that determine what gets built.
I help investors, innovative companies, and public agencies get capital into multi-decade physical assets that outlast the rules they were financed under.
What I work on
Data centers & the grid
What the AI buildout asks of the grid, and who ends up paying for it.
AI & energy
Where infrastructure, AI, and the energy transition meet.
Infrastructure finance
Public-private partnerships, and why institutions set the pace more than capital does.
Broadband
Closing the digital divide with locally led networks and federal funds.

What is actually getting built, and what is getting in the way.
I write about infrastructure, capital, and policy: the grid, data centers, broadband, and the institutions that decide what gets built. New pieces land in your inbox as they publish.
