Energy economics + forecasting, built for real-world decisions

Credible analysis when the stakes are high.

I help law firms, utilities, developers, and decision-makers with energy-market economics, forecasting, expert testimony, and AI-enabled analysis. If you need defensible work that survives cross-examination, you’re in the right place.

Economic forecasting Load, price, demand, scenario design, and “what changes if…” planning.
Energy economics Regulation, market design, gas & power, storage, policy impacts.
Expert witness & training Testimony strategy, report structure, deposition/trial preparation.
AI programming for analysis Practical tools for faster research, modeling workflows, and auditability.
Technology-change impacts How new tech shifts costs, markets, incentives, and risk profiles.
Decision support Clear narratives, clean exhibits, and analysis designed to be understood.

What clients hire me to do

  • Forecasting and scenario analysis that holds up in boardrooms and hearings.
  • Energy-market economics with clear logic, clean exhibits, and audit-friendly methods.
  • Expert witness coaching that improves credibility, composure, and narrative control.
  • Technical analysis translated into plain English without losing the mathematics.

The goal is not “analysis for analysis’ sake.” The goal is decisions that don’t fall apart when challenged.

About Michael

I’m an energy economist and economic forecaster with extensive experience in regulated proceedings (including work before state commissions and FERC). My work focuses on defensible reasoning, transparent methods, and persuasive communication.

I also build practical AI tools that accelerate research and analysis while keeping the work auditable, explainable, and fit for serious use.

Tip: keep one strong video here; put the rest on a dedicated Media page.

Free witness tip sheet

If you’re preparing a witness (or you are the witness), I offer a short tip sheet that covers the essentials: composure, clarity, and how not to hand the other side free ammunition.

Consulting inquiries

Email what you’re working on (context, timeline, and what “success” looks like). If it’s a fit, I’ll propose a simple approach, deliverables, and schedule.

If you send attachments, PDFs are fine; spreadsheets are better; and if someone sends an image of a spreadsheet, I reserve the right to sigh dramatically.
