I'm Anson!
I'm currently...
- studying systems design engineering at Waterloo
- chasing the tail of my reading list
- making a feature length documentary on a cautiously pro-growth, resilient, pragmatic, optimistic, and bipartisan approach to climate change (a mouthful!)
- playing with high voltages at a fusion company
I'm excited about
...
- the climate cinematic universe, particularly electrification and resilience (history, energy policy, batteries, etc)
- cultivating the potential of people, throwing life-changing events, match-making, around me, raising baby ideas
- engineering & design that makes your heart flutter
- the history of technology , theories of civilizational prosperity, institution design
If any of those resonate, please
reach out!
I'm always looking to befriend people who are as kind as they are ambitious, and as thoughtful as they are optimistic.

FILM
Unstuck: The Documentary
A feature length documentary on industrial climate solutions that resonate with conservatives. Ongoing, but first time directing, producing, and editing my own large project! Basically a large research project documented on camera. Now know an abnormal amount about video codecs, permitting, and the ERCOT grid
