Since becoming WCTI’s executive director last year, Bush led the organization from a virtual network broker to a full-fledged business incubator, establishing a facility and cultivating a community of entrepreneurs, mentors and investors. He continues to grow its physical and network resources.

Previously, Bush raised funds for and coordinated a solar workforce training program, led student research projects on using open-source electronics for energy and environmental monitoring, and helped write the the first course curricula on energy infrastructure at Bronx Community College. During that time he also helped start a green-chemical company through the National Science Foundation I-Corps program.

By the time I am 50, I would like to have accomplished... having my children still want to hang out with me.

What would you like to tell your 10-year-old self? Learn to code. Buy and hold. Spend more time with Dad.

If you could have dinner with any four people, who would they be? Carl Sagan, Vannevar Bush (my great grandfather), Bill Gates, Isaac Asimov.

Where do you get motivation? I have no excuse not to do my best.
