Hard to believe the NY Solar + Storage Summit is just a week away! Last year, it landed right after the presidential election—a time of uncertainty. This year, we’re coming together with momentum, sharing how we’ve adapted + grown. Tickets still available—join us! www.nyseia.org/about-register

13 years after Superstorm Sandy, too many New Yorkers still lack access to resilient power. With a new mayor coming in January, NYC has a chance to lead — updating outdated codes and unlocking safe, energy storage for all. Let’s build a stronger, fairer future together.

On Friday, Carolyn and I joined the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless to celebrate 40 years of impact. Their team leads with heart and vision — advocating, serving, and building community with compassion. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

No one told me that having a dog is like living with a tiny, furry monarch with a God complex.
I pay the mortgage. She rules the kingdom.
But she’s my heart. I’d move the sun myself if I could.

16 years ago, this guy completed our family. I still remember holding him by the hospital window, thinking I could live in that moment forever. He’s grown into a truly great man—and still chooses to spend time with me. Happy birthday, son. I love you like crazy.

Happy Gotcha Day to my sweet and loyal companion. These are challenging times in America—lots of noise, lots of weight. But this little hoodie-wearing fluffball? Unbothered. Just here with unconditional love, tail wags, and the occasional side-eye. Grateful for three years of calm in the chaos. 🐾❤️

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is bringing clean energy leaders together. This week’s NYSEIA event for the Long Island Solar & Storage Alliance was a highlight—grateful to County Exec Ed Romaine for sharing his vision, and for a rare date night with Carolyn!

The budget bill passed today in Congress is a staggering, unprecedented, heartbreaking betrayal of American values—cruel and shortsighted. But this isn’t the end of the story. We’ll mobilize our industry to ensure that NY responds with bold action to protect jobs, cut red tape, and lower costs.

Last week, Carolyn and I joined New Hour for Women and Children to celebrate their 10th anniversary—a decade of empowering women, restoring families & building stronger communities. I left inspired by stories of resilience. Congrats to Serena & the whole team!

One of the most energizing parts of my job? Creating space for real convos with solar + storage pros facing today’s challenges head-on. This year’s NYC Solar + Storage Summit reminded me: resilience isn’t just what we build—it’s who we are.

Just 1 week to go! I'm excited to return to NYC with my team at NYSEIA for the NYC Solar + Storage Summit. I’ll be moderating a panel on federal policy challenges + what they mean for NY. Don’t miss it—tickets close Monday! www.nyseia.org/nyc-summit-2...

On Wednesday, hundreds rallied with NYSEIA to support rooftop and community solar on the Million Dollar Staircase.
We urged lawmakers to pass the ASAP Act to expand solar access, lower bills, and modernize interconnections. Solar is essential for NY's affordability agenda.

Attended the Brookhaven Community Solar ribbon-cutting on Long Island. This project, a collaboration between Brookhaven and Good Energy, offers residents a 10% discount on electric bills. Developed by Solar Energy Systems, it powers 1,200 homes.

I'm surrounded by strong women every day. I work with many, I'm in love with one, and I'm raising one. Their strength makes the world a better place, and it makes me a better man.
