About David René Miller

I am currently focused on scaling Headwaters & Marine Stewards (HMS), a data-driven nonprofit dedicated to Ecological Literacy and \"Sentinel Stewardship.\" We empower local guardians to track the vital cycles—Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Carbon, and Water—that sustain our region from the mountain headwaters to the sea.My career has been defined by solving complex systems problems at the intersection of data and operations. Today, I apply that lens to environmental resilience, bridging the gap between scientific observation and municipal action through advanced Watershed Management Systems. Consulting and Collaboration: I continue to take on select consulting engagements where I can move the needle on high-level strategy, system architecture, or Regulatory Compliance (specifically MS4 frameworks).I\'m not seeking traditional employment. I am, however, always open to high-impact collaborations with fellow founders, environmental agencies, and organizations committed to transparent, science-based stewardship. hmstewards.org | Candid Platinum Rated
