Following the thread from curiosity to clarity
Writing about and convening stakeholders driving the systems, infrastructure, and decisions shaping our future.
Today, I write about my thesis of a compounding risk framework (CRF) – how these interconnected environmental and financial risks from explosive data center development can do more harm than good for families, communities and the economy if we don't ask the right questions and advocate for the community.
If you're curious about where AI, energy, health and the environment collide, you've come to the right place.
Where the Conversation Happens
LinkedIn is my primary home for strategic insight. Every week, I publish original analysis on data centers, energy transition, environmental resilience, and the policy gaps in between. It's where the community engages, pushes back, and digs deeper.
Publications
I'm building a dedicated space for deeper dives that expand on my research and what we're learning in our community forums. Below you'll find recent white papers and posts.
Coffees, Conversations & Speaking
I cohost a monthly coffee in Nashville to bring curious people together around the topics that matter most — cleantech, data centers, energy, health and the future of AI infrastructure. Innovators Forum events are typically held at Glasshaus in Nashville.
