Order inside ambiguity.

I run organizations and hard problems: a national coalition of 400+ companies through a first-of-its-kind regulatory rollout, and a Colorado water company where the P&L, board governance, and operating systems had to be built from scratch. I show the work rather than describe it. The portfolio below is real analysis on real data.

How it fits together

The Arrangement

A career that reads as three different jobs is actually one composition. Every part has a role, and each one covers for the others.

Rhythm section

Operations

Full P&L, field crews, budgets, the operating cadence. The part nobody notices until it's missing, and nothing works without it.

Lead lines

Government affairs

The part that's out front: capitols, agencies, testimony, coalitions. It only lands because the rhythm underneath is solid.

Production

Analytics

The mix. Financial models, dashboards, and briefs that make every decision audible: clear, balanced, and ready to ship.

A good arrangement isn't playing everything at once. It's knowing what each part is for, and when to sit out.

Consulting

What I do for clients now

Focused engagements where the supply of practitioners who have actually done the work is thin.

Colorado special districts

Interim GM & financial modeling for ditch and reservoir companies

Operating models, board reporting, assessments and budgeting, SOPs, and interim general management for mutual ditch and reservoir companies and special districts, from someone who has held the GM seat.

Manufacturers & brands

EPR readiness assessment & compliance strategy

State-by-state exposure mapping, producer responsibility organization engagement, fee modeling, and compliance program design, informed by leading implementation of California AB 2398.

Member-based & mission-based organizations

Boardside Financial: fractional financial operations

Monthly financial management and fractional financial operations for small member-based and mission-driven organizations: clean books, a board-ready monthly packet, and financials presented in person when the board wants them.

About

Operator first. Analyst by training. Musician on purpose.

I have spent 14+ years where policy meets operations: leading implementation of California AB 2398, the nation's first carpet stewardship law, through CalRecycle while directing operations for a 400+ member industry coalition, and then running a Colorado agricultural ditch and reservoir company as General Manager with full responsibility for its P&L, board, and infrastructure.

I am also the guitarist in a working four-piece band. That is deliberate context, not trivia: writing and performing music is constant practice in shipping creative work under constraints, collaborating in small groups where everyone's part is exposed, and iterating in public. It is the same muscle that early-stage and high-change organizations run on.
