About Toby
- I started my career as an administrative assistant for Congressman Bernie Sanders.
- I then transitioned into corporate governance.
- After gaining some experience, I co-founded a corporate governance consulting firm, where I worked for 14 years while simultaneously running my own contracting company.
- I eventually decided that while I was living my best life, I could do more to contribute to humanity, so I pivoted to work in more social and community service-based spaces.
- I thought I was doing my part for the planet by recycling and composting, but when my daughter came home from camp crying about the state of the climate, I realized the little things weren’t enough.
- I started reading, researching, and learning about the people who were taking a systems-level approach to address the climate crisis, which led me into ocean farming.
- I now work as the director of infrastructure for GreenWave, an organization that trains and supports regenerative ocean farmers in order to yield meaningful economic and climate impacts.
