  • Extensive Wall Street experience in valuing corporate assets and pricing long-term energy contracts - critical skills for MUD as it considers acquiring PG&E's assets and contracting for power purchases.

  • Experience in energy venture capital, where I became familiar with technologies that enable delivery of power in ways that are both less expensive and better for the environment.

  • Undergraduate and graduate work in public sector economics at Harvard University, where my mentor was Lawrence Summers (later President Clinton's Secretary of the Treasury). Law degree from Yale Law School, where I was Senior Editor of the Yale Journal on Regulation (focused specifically on the natural monopolies MUD will oversee).

  • Long record of service to our community: Big Brother mentor to fourteen year-old boy; fundraiser for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation; volunteer with the Special Olympics and with Hands On San Francisco; active member of the Sierra Club . . .
