My career is dedicated to a single thesis: restoring trust in climate solutions requires a fundamental architectural shift. The static, fragmented systems of the past are not realizing their full potential. We must build a dynamic, "tree-centric" digital MRV to meet the challenge. After 24 years as a lead scientist in the USDA Forest Service, culminating as the National Program Lead for Carbon Quantification Sciences, I have seen this failure from the inside. I was the technical strategist tapped to lead the federal response to our most urgent policy crises, requiring me to brief White House offices and respond to Congress on one hard truth: the government cannot solve this 'trust gap' alone. The national strategy I helped architect is a "hybrid public-private ecosystem." The vision is a "GHG Digital Twin" for our natural resources. I joined CTrees to build the innovative, technology-driven side of that hybrid model. As Director of US Forest Science and Policy @ CTrees, I am in a unique position to accelerate the application of science at scale. My mission is to build the platform that translates state-of-the-art AI, field observations, and high-resolution remote sensing into trusted, verifiable, and scalable tools. This work moves beyond just voluntary carbon markets. It is about building the core data infrastructure to de-risk investment and empower all stewards, from federal agencies to private landowners, in the full spectrum of natural climate solutions, including wildfire resilience, biodiversity, and sustainable supply chains. I have spent a career building the "gold standard" public data foundation. I am now at CTrees to build the technology that finally makes that data actionable.
