Over 100 billion pounds of food waste ends up in a United States landfill each year. To help change this, Clew is developing a countertop food waste upcycling appliance that processes nearly all of your residential food waste in under two hours. By keeping food waste out of the landfill, Clew will reduce one of the biggest contributors to methane emissions.

He spent the early days of his career as an experiential brand producer managing million dollar projects for Target, Absolut, Peloton, Delta Air Lines, and more.
