With over two decades of experience negotiating high-value agreements across multiple catagories including technology Brian specializes in turning complexity into durable financial outcomes. He founded LinkPast Solutions in 2018 to help organizations protect capital, reduce risk, and secure favorable long-term positions through disciplined negotiation and strategic execution. That foundation now extends into energy infrastructure, where LinkPast cornered the market with their Great Mills and Sewalls Island hydroelectric proposals and work coordinating federal and state advocacy to safeguard regional energy security for partners like Fort Drum. Our focus is on capital where governance, resilience, and long-term returns align—prioritizing disciplined execution, downside protection, and sustainable value creation.

Steven is a recognized conservation and hydropower leader with a career dedicated to aligning environmental stewardship, recreation, and energy production. As the founder of New York Rivers, he built a specialized consulting group focused on environmental strategy, recreation access, and stakeholder collaboration across New York’s waterways. He currently serves as Director and President of New York Rivers United, where he champions a “shared cooperation” model that enables responsible hydroelectric generation while preserving ecological integrity and public use. Steven is also an indispensable technical resource, providing hydraulic interpretation and design insight for complex systems such as the Black River waterways. His work reduces regulatory friction, de-risks capital deployment, and ensures projects are engineered to succeed both technically and socially over the long term.
