2014-present: Alaska Fellows Program (master chronology) 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) (master chronology) is a two-year college in the making, partly modeled after Deep Springs College. Presently Outer Coast runs postsecondary academic programming year round, as we lay the groundwork to open the accredited two-year college. The college proper is set to open 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've since 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 analysis and 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 to get a better sense of the operation. And if you're interested in chartering, drop me a line!
2023-present: Borealis is a two-month cohort-based, remote-work program in Anchorage that's set to launch (we hope) in ~Q4 2024. I'm working to launch the program with wonderful fellow Alaskan Claire Shaw.
