Business leaders in sustainability, community health, food security, & more often struggle to execute their visions as broadly or deeply as they’d like. I solve this classic “Visionary vs. Integrator” problem by jumping in and applying all my business design experience to remove obstacles, increase key metrics and drive the business to new heights.

It is CRITICAL we bring humankind back into harmony with Earth’s natural systems altogether. This is bigger than just climate—it’s threatening our communities’ livelihoods.

There are many potential solutions to these, and I can’t decide what is most important to work on. So I decided to start “Regenerative City Search Lab” (RegenCity for short) to identify and pursue a FIRST profitable business model, that will then enable us to pursue other product & service lines.

Regardless of what products & services we decide to prototype, validate, and scale, the ultimate vision is to bring all of human civilization back into harmony with nature and with one another, both with and without the help of technology.

If you believe this is something important to work on, I‘d love to meet you. Thanks for reading and please
