About

An explorer with a lot to say and more to do.

I’ve wanted to help the world for as long as I can remember. And I don’t plan on stopping until we manage to make some magic happen.

By day: I’m a carbon market researcher and analyst, with a background deeply rooted in climate science and environmental economics. Growing up in the Kruger in South Africa, I developed a profound connection to our planet and its incredible biodiversity. Now, I'm channeling that passion into my work at a corporate level, catalyzing change from within.

By night: Driven by the belief that the beauty of our planet can inspire action, I'm dedicated to advocating for sustainable solutions. I aim to harness the power of data and storytelling to ignite a sense of urgency and drive meaningful change for our environment and the precious wildlife it harbors. More specifically - I wish to build the story of what Planet Earth and the Human Experience could look like if we get it right - ‘it’ being figuring out what the heck we’re doing, getting our act together, and making a damn plan.

My big bug bear is that Humanity has no cohesive plan, no united goal, no direction. I don’t see how we’ll ever be able to make real ‘progress’ until we have this. And the beginning point of this is defining how we want to live our lives as citizens of the planet. What would the ultimate human experience look like? How can we account for the variety of human desires? Or is there a cohesive thread that we can find and weave into the fabric of our societies such that every human has the opportunity to live their deepest desires as the norm.

I believe it’s possible. I believe it sure as hell won’t be easy. But give it some time (say… 800 years?), and I think we could manage.

How we maintain hope, optimism and persistence towards that goal is another story, and I feel that creating community, safe and beautiful places to live, generating local food and re-focusing on what really matters in our education systems is a solid place to start.

But I really do think that for the bigger picture, we need to start by giving people something to aim towards.
