The books and essays on this site stand on operating experience — these are the companies and projects where that experience comes from. Real sites, real tenants, real infrastructure, and the software layers that make them smarter.
Commercial parking and fleet operations in Colorado's Vail Valley, anchored near a regional airport. It's an operating business in the fullest sense — leases, tenants, snow removal, invoicing, and the local jobs that come with keeping real sites running every day.
Why it matters: parking is the front door of physical commerce — and one of the last big asset classes still run on paper.
Garage-condominium development in the Vail Valley — secure, owned storage and workspace for vehicles, gear, and small operations. It applies the same playbook as the parking business: take underused land and give it an operating model people will pay for.
Why it matters: mountain communities are short on functional space; ownable garage condos turn that scarcity into a durable asset class.
EV fast charging and stacked-use development along the I-70 mountain corridor — combining charging, hospitality, and services on sites where drivers already have to stop. The bet is simple: on a mountain corridor, dwell time is the product, and the site owner wins.
Why it matters: the interstate build-out of EV infrastructure is a real estate problem wearing an energy costume.
The Recharged America storyThe protocol layer for parking — connecting parking and curb infrastructure to autonomous agents, navigation engines, and payment systems. Sometimes described as “Stripe for Parking”: the rails that let vehicles and software find, reserve, and settle for space without a human in the loop.
Why it matters: when vehicles start transacting with the built environment, someone has to own the protocol they speak.
parkgraph.comA free EV charger discovery tool — find charging stations near you, fast, without an app or an account. Built because finding a working charger is still harder than it should be.
Why it matters: charging adoption is a discovery problem before it's an infrastructure problem.
chargingnear.meA portfolio of 20+ U.S. patent filings across autonomous-vehicle authentication, EV charging, and vehicle safety — including ASCAV and AVIM, foundational technologies for how autonomous vehicles authenticate, navigate, and transact with the built environment.
Why it matters: the ideas in the books aren't hypothetical — they're filed.
