Exploring, Innovating, and Building Planetary Intelligence

I am a planetary exploration geophysicist, systems architect, and intelligence strategist dedicated to sustainably expanding humanity’s frontier presence. My expertise spans planetary science, renewable energy, geospatial intelligence, advanced remote sensing, and AI-driven autonomous systems.

I translate complex planetary and terrestrial data into clear, actionable intelligence, empowering decision-making across exploration, resource development, and infrastructure resilience on Earth, the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

My passion for space began the first time I checked out a library book on Jupiter in first grade and was reinforced as I stood beneath the rocket boosters at Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. I studied astronomy through electives at Phillips Exeter Academy and pursued this passion at Boston University, earning a joint undergraduate degree in Geophysics and Planetary Science. There, I conducted research at Argonne National Laboratory and became a published first author. Driven by a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and real-world impact, I earned an MSc in Sustainable Energy Futures at Imperial College London, specializing in digital innovation.

Returning to the U.S., I co-founded an AI venture with colleagues from Carnegie Mellon, implementing advanced automation and decision-support systems in finance and other high-stakes industries, scaling it into a multi-million-dollar vendor with a peak valuation exceeding $100M. As Chief Strategy Officer, I transformed technical intelligence into impact and gained significant leadership experience, yet still felt something was missing.

The pandemic became a defining moment. Immersed in landscape astrophotography, I uncovered my deeper identity—not just a technologist or strategist, but fundamentally an explorer. As commercial space began to flourish, I recognized my skills, perspectives, and passion uniquely positioned me to help shape the next generation of space exploration.

This realization crystallized my mission: to define how humanity can responsibly explore and sustain life across new worlds.

I build intelligent frontier infrastructure that integrates data, autonomous systems, and deep scientific insights. My goal is to guide sustainable human exploration, resource utilization, mission logistics, and planetary-scale infrastructure development. By merging planetary geophysics, predictive analytics, and operational expertise, I advance our ability to sustainably expand humanity’s presence throughout the solar system.

I maintain active operational certifications and field readiness:

• FAA-certified Drone Pilot
• PADI Rescue-certified SCUBA Diver 
• Advanced Remote Sensing & GIS Specialist
• Astrophotographer & Field Documentation Expert
• Active training for analog missions and spaceflight readiness
   

These skills enable me to provide robust analytics, comprehensive support, and mission-ready operational insights.
