Welcome! I started this personal website in 1997 while I was at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying engineering and I have been updating the content and occasionally redesigning it ever since. The site contains a blog and my resume. Since graduating from the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley in 2009, I started writing short pieces on energy issues. I include these posts along with anything I've written for my job at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (formerly the Pew Center on Global Climate Change) in my blog below.
In this post, I critique an NPR story on plug-in electric vehicles. The story was misleading and lacked proper context. 
After returning from a trip to climb Mount Klimanjaro, I wrote this piece on climate change. While there's little time to save the glaciers on the summit of Kili, there's still time for us to limit the effects of climate change in other regions.
In this piece for the Txchnologist, I break down the European Union's effort to limit greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector. The U.S. and China are not happy, but the EU deserves credit for being a first-mover on this issue.
I wrote about the transition strategies for policymakers that will move our cars off of oil for a new news magazine called the Txchnologist. It's really important that government help correct the market failures that led to the mess we found ourselves in, but it's also critical that public policy not stifle business innovation.
