Clark
Environmental consulting → architecture → GIS infrastructure → fintech.
The thread is compliance — I just keep changing what's being permitted.
Started in the field — environmental consulting, mapping pipelines,
solar farms, and the habitats of things that don't want to be found.
Bugs, bunnies, wetlands, Army Corps triggers — the whole compliance zoo.
Architecture school in Wellington, NZ. Then GPS & GIS —
ground floor at Transect, building GIS-driven permitting infrastructure
before anyone called it "proptech". Welding when things got quiet.
Now building BaseFund — the compliance and closing platform
behind $200B+ in municipal bond transactions.
San Antonio, TX — where I weld, build, and raise kids. Endangered species expert by training. The kind of person who reads Army Corps Section 404 guidance for fun.
