Current Quest

Active — Main Quest

Turning every company into a power company

Building the partner channel at Light, a white-label electricity platform. Partners embed branded, 100% renewable power plans into their products — solar, real estate, EVs, mortgages — while Light handles the grid-side complexity. The mission: clean energy attached to the moments people already make energy decisions.

Character Backstory

Forged at the University of Georgia, where he ran political campaigns before graduation. Cut his teeth in strategy consulting at Bain, then crossed to the investor side at TA Associates evaluating SaaS companies. Served as Chief of Staff to a CRO at Turbonomic — his first taste of sales. Journeyed to Harvard Business School to deepen his craft, then returned to Bain while building Colloqium, an AI voter outreach startup. Sold AI and automation to enterprises at Zapier. Now at Light, helping any company become a power company — while building the next thing on the side.

Off the quest board, he helps govern a $12M national foundation from its executive committee as Secretary and Audit Chair. Every move above traces back to a single oath, sworn early.

Sacred Oath

Expand opportunity for the communities that have the least — through education above all, and through the systems opportunity runs on: affordable clean power, fair elections, institutions that work.
