One person. Many chapters.

Each card is a different corner of who I am. The common thread: I don't just learn things — I build things with them.

Built differently.
Hired for it.

Most energy executives come from finance or engineering. I came from the field — a U.S. Army veteran who worked his way from fracturing operations supervisor to closing $900M in behind-the-meter power contracts for data center developers.

Along the way I built FiveM game servers for fun, ran a custom fishing rod business, did standup comedy, published in national energy journals, and presented energy policy to the Oklahoma State Legislature.

The same thing drives all of it: I like to understand how things work and then build something better.
