With over 15 years experience at the intersection of climate and energy policy, Michael has a deep understanding of the entrenched obstacles and new challenges facing clean energy companies. He brings expertise and relationships from across the public, private, and non-profit sectors to achieve results in Congress and the executive branch.
Michael joined Boundary Stone from the National Audubon Society, where he led the development of federal climate strategy. In that role, he helped one of the country's oldest conservation organizations and its millions of members understand and advocate for increased deployment of emissions-free electricity generation, energy storage, and the necessary infrastructure to deliver that clean energy to consumers.

This combination gives Michael insights and relationships he can draw upon to create and help unlock federal funding opportunities for clients. Working for members at either end of the ideological spectrum within the Democratic caucus also provides Michael with a keen sense of the art of the possible in today's Washington.
