As the leader of a nonprofit organization that seeks to better use the economic potential of Lake Erie, he has to balance business development with the development of new technology. With that in mind, he created the Freshwater Innovation Fund, a venture capital fund focused on investments in water technology. At the same time, he has successfully identified some promising technologies designed to find lead service lines without the need for excavation in an effort to solve Cleveland’s lead line problem. This year, CWA, as part of a collaborative, was one of 10 groups to receive a National Science Foundation Engine designation which brings in funding for the build out of a water data testbed connecting Chicago, Cleveland and Milwaukee.
