Bio

I invest in and teach about #space (see my projects below) because I believe space can solve many of humanity's biggest challenges, including climate change, energy security, food security, global healthcare, and more. I believe that space will help provide the technologies to do this, but more importantly also provide the inspiration for a diverse, talented humanity to pursue and build our best possible future.
