I’m helping regenerative businesses scale. Stronger business = greater impact.
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.
We need to grow more food locally, capture all the resources we can, divert & repurpose waste, and much more. I’m actively working on this and…
My business experience
I’ve built 6 businesses so far: 
I’ve also racked up years of experience working closely with the leaders of dozens of early-stage companeis, including: 
If you’d like you can dig deeper into my Achievements & Testimonials.
Not working in this industry? You should be.
Most cities are terribly out of sync with nature and natural systems. 🏙 ≠ 🌳 We’ve lost touch with who we are and how we are meant to exist. I wrote about it in Back to basics: from tech to soil.
This has led to systemic: • people issues (chronic illness & pain, anxiety, depression, feeling “lost” in life/career…) • societal issues (disconnection, supply chain fragility…) • planet issues (pollution, water shortages, loss of biodiversity…)
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. My goal is to find & go all-in on that business model by the end of 2022. I’ll use this page as an ongoing “learn in public” document for this search lab.
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 Get in touch. 🙏 😌
Learning & working out loud:
Problems to solve
- Trash, landfills & methane emissions – see Quick steps any restaurant can take to go green
- Low-nutrition food supply
- Fragile supply chain
- Poor walkability and quality of life
- Waste of water (lawns, irrigation inefficiency)
- Stress, anxiety, etc.
Solution buckets
- Organic waste collection & composting
- Community-supported agriculture (CSA) boxes
- Regenerative agriculture/permaculture
- Distributed food/energy/water production, and ownership of such systems
- “Green” home & business systems – e.g. greywater & rainwater, smart irrigation
- Community & abundance economy
- Education & skill leverage-building
Platform

@September 15, 2022 I’m realizing RegenCity might be a “journey hub” + marketplace between…
Homeowners and business owners who…
- Care about the planet/resources & want to
- conserve water — by installing greywater systems, rainwater collection, smart irrigation, etc.
- minimize their waste footprint — by composting,
- Crave food, water, and energy independence as well as community/local ties, and want to
- grow more of their own food in private or community gardens
- generate their own power independently or through community-owned systems
The owner-side platform is designed as a central hub for discovering and pursuing each piece of this puzzle: “Wherever you are in your journey”
Businesses & gov’t agencies that…
- Install greywater systems, rainwater collection, smart irrigation, etc.
- Intake green waste and compost industrially
Community leaders?
