Boosting friendly renegade teams in crisis-affected cities
I run growth, tech, and research projects in crisis-affected cities. Especially passionate about responsible tech, music, and regenerative design / nature-positive solutions for disaster recovery.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, but very much from Texas and the South. Fluent in Spanish, conversant in Portuguese, intermediate Japanese grammar but lacking vocab!
I'm a human bumblebee,
a team-oriented cross-pollinator.
High-stakes, high-complexity, and high-camaraderie environments supercharge my work.
I love teaming up on underdog projects. My career has focused on how cities learn from each other, through crises and flows of technologies, ideas, media, and investments.
My childhood and education focused on music and sports, both to my hometown of Austin's landscape. My work splits between emerging markets and Silicon Valley:
I’m all about security and healing in urban contexts
Security:
housing / mobility / physical
psycho-social
geopolitical
cyber
Healing:
cities’ mobility / equity / nature / sustainability
human rights / equity / accountability
disaster
music
Perhaps you have other dimensions of security and healing to discuss. I’d be thrilled.

I would love to hear your ideas, and see how we can help each other.
