Board Roles
Three active chairs
Paragon Energy AI · Shield One · Forge
01 — The Work
Three disciplines. One operator.
Most executives are one of three things. A few are two. The combination of all three is rare — and it is what capital-intensive, regulated, AI-driven companies actually need.
The Founder-CEO. I built Paragon Energy AI from the ground up — corporate structure, customer relationships, capital strategy, and the code itself. I architected and personally shipped Sentinel, the autonomous edge agent that lives on every device in the fleet. Most CEOs in regulated infrastructure cannot ship code. That changes the economics of building.
The PE Operating Executive. I have run the playbook on the other side — turnarounds at AuthenticID and Ford, MSP roll-ups at Sunset and Shield One, product turnarounds at Bright MLS and Henry Schein. Quantified outcomes, not aspirational ones: 25%+ EBITDA inside twelve months, 85% defect reduction, 71% technical debt elimination, $14M in net new recurring revenue. The work is documented.
The Capital Strategist. I structure my own deals. QSBS-eligible entities, § 1045 rollovers, ITC/PTC transferability, multi-entity stacks designed for the exit math from day one. Boards and investors usually need three outside advisors to get this right. I bring it to the table.

Flagship
Paragon Energy AI
A self-healing AI platform for renewable energy operations. Edge-deployed agents that monitor, diagnose, and remediate across multi-manufacturer fleets — without sending a truck.
The renewable industry is operating tomorrow's assets on yesterday's software. Multi-manufacturer fleets, fragmented telemetry, manual ticketing, and roll-truck economics that don't scale. Paragon Energy AI replaces all of it with a single edge-native operating layer — built around Sentinel, an autonomous agent that lives on every device, and a purpose-built large language model trained exclusively on renewable energy operations.
Anchor partner: Radiant Energy Capital.
03 — Writing
On building, operating, and structuring AI infrastructure.
Why 90% of MSP roll-ups stall at 15% EBITDA — and the operational gates that get you to 25%.
Forthcoming
ITC/PTC transferability changed renewable project finance. Most operators haven't updated their capital structure to match.
Forthcoming
04 — Advisory
Selective board and operating engagements.
I take on a limited number of advisory and board engagements per year, typically at the board, operating-partner, or fractional-CEO level. By referral and after a brief conversation about fit.
