2014-present: Alaska Fellows Program is a nine-month residential public service program that I started in Sitka and that has since expanded to Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau. More in this Alaska Journal of Commerce article. I started and ran Alaska Fellows Program and now serve on its board.
2015-present: Outer Coast (College) is a two-year college in the making, partly modeled after Deep Springs College. Outer Coast runs postsecondary academic programming year round, as we lay the groundwork to open the accredited two-year college. Our first undergraduate class is scheduled to come to Sitka fall 2024. I helped start Outer Coast and now serve on its board.
2020-present: Act Now Coalition (née Covid Act Now) started as a COVID-19 disease intelligence platform. >2% of the American public visited Covid Act Now within 72 hours of its launch, and numerous governors (Whitmer, Beshear, et al.) used and cited Covid Act Now modeling. We subsequently rebranded as the Act Now Coalition and broadened our scope to do work across different domains. Two recent partnerships include helping Rewiring America develop data visualizations around electrification, and working with the WHO to analyze global COVID data. I helped start Act Now Coalition and now serve on its board.
2022-present: Alaska Yacht Charters (AYC) is a business that charters out the 90-foot, 4-state room, 8-passenger M/V Alaskan Story and its complement of four amazing crew. I'm a partner-owner in AYC and the Story with two friends from Juneau. We bought the vessel and the business from a Bainbridge Island couple who owned and operated AYC for the last 30 years and were looking to retire. 2023 was our first full season as new owners. Check out our Insta for more.
2023-present: Borealis is a two-month cohort-based, remote-work program in Anchorage that's set to launch in ~Q4 2024. I'm working to launch the program with fellow Alaskan Claire Shaw.
