I am a serial entrepreneur having launched six renewable energy companies with a total capitalization of over $100 million. I am the sole inventor of 32 US and international patents to-date that focus on next generation of alternative liquid transportation fuel formulations and integrated biorefinery technologies for co-production of biofuels and biochemicals from waste resources. My inventions include E-Diesel, P-Series Alternative Fuel, 2G / 2-Stage Cellulosic Ethanol processes, integrated biorefineries to co-produce biofuels, biochemicals, materials, co-gen electricity, and pyrolysis / gasification systems.

Under Cetyl Energy Inc., my latest company, we own and operate two commercial-scale biodiesel plants in Florida and North Carolina, as part of our business plan that is consolidating the US Biodiesel Industry. As the Director of Renewable Energy and Biotechnology Practice at Booz Allen & Hamilton, I lead the projects with several US Federal Agencies, M&A and restructuring of Fortune 500 companies.

My books on the BioEconomy have played a critical role in shaping the public policies and creation of the Bioenergy programs at EERE at DOE and USDA. I have designed, developed and financed a number of renewable energy projects over the past 25 years. I support sustainable development and climate change driven renewable energy projects that can reduce our dependence on fossil energy while supporting a reliable business case and achieve a healthy ROI for our investor community.

We can save the planet through sound business judgments on technology deployment one project at a time.
