Biography

As the son of a U.S. Naval Submarine Officer, I have had the opportunity to grow up in numerous locations throughout the United States, and most recently in Silverdale, Washington. As an avid cyclist, runner, and outdoor-enthusiast, I have developed a deep commitment to environmental issues and am distraught at the liberality that carbon-based fuels are consumed. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering from the United States Naval Academy. At Cambridge I will be pursuing an MPhil in Energy Technologies, hoping to curtail the effects of anthropogenic climate change and to tackle the myriad of energy challenges that the world faces through development, testing and evaluation of practical engineering solutions. As a Naval Officer, I am especially interested in discovering which low-carbon renewable energy sources are the most practical, efficient, and economical to decrease the petroleum-dependency of the Navy and to meet the energy demands of the world at large.
