Choppy!

Born and raised in Berkeley, CA, I spent the majority of my life in the Bay Area—attending Lick-Wilmerding High School in SF before going to Stanford, then Berkeley, to complete my degrees in mechanical engineering. I have passion for utilizing the food system to address climate change, and was fortunate to spend 5 years developing and scaling textured proteins as the first R&D engineer at Beyond Meat. I hope to make an everlasting climate impact with Momentum.

Pretty good at welding, writing, and growing plants inside. Very good at citing obscure lines from The Simpsons. Trying to become great at making alternative meat people are excited to eat. 4th engineer at vertical farming company, stayed with them as they scaled 20x. Earned 25+ patents for mechanical engineering work on their grow infrastructure and automation systems then moved into technical program management and led the commissioning of their new farm in LA.
