Short bio (~100 words)

Ross D. Blankenship is a real estate developer, operator, and author of five books on how AI is changing property and owner-led business. He owns and operates commercial real estate in Colorado's Vail Valley — including parking and fleet operations through Wins Parking — and founded Recharged America, an EV charging and stacked-use platform along the I-70 corridor. He is the architect of Park Graph, an AI protocol layer connecting parking and curb infrastructure to autonomous agents (often called “Stripe for Parking”), and the creator of ChargingNear.me. A Cornell University graduate and Washington University School of Law alumnus, his patent portfolio includes ASCAV and AVIM — foundational technologies for how autonomous vehicles authenticate, navigate, and transact with the built environment. He is available for expert commentary, typically same-day.

Topics

Topics I provide expert commentary on

Clear, quotable perspective on the stories where software meets the physical world. Each topic comes with concrete examples and plain-language framing for general audiences.

AI in commercial real estate

How AI is changing underwriting, operations, pricing, and decision support across property — from an operator who deploys it on his own assets, and knows where the hype outruns reality.

Parking & the future of the curb

Why parking is becoming software — access, reservations, enforcement, monetization, and the digital operating layer of parking assets, from an actual parking operator.

AI agents & accountability

Who is responsible when an autonomous AI agent makes a costly decision — liability, oversight, the human-review rule, and the “agent of record.”

EV & AV infrastructure

The economics of EV charging and autonomous-vehicle corridors, site design, dwell time, and the build-out of networks like the I-70 mountain corridor.

Proptech

Where real estate technology is genuinely heading: software-defined physical assets, yield, and turning land into a smarter revenue platform.

Vehicle safety & trust systems

Patent-backed perspective on vehicle safety, communication, and the trust and identity systems that make real-world platforms credible.

Credentials

A background that combines operating experience, law, and invention — useful for stories that need both technical depth and real-world operating nuance.
