Matt Rothe is three years into being a cofounder and the chief technology officer of Blue Ocean Barns, which has developed an algae-based feed supplement for cattle that radically reduces their methane emissions (and climate impact). When Matt is not at either of the facilities in San Diego or Kona, Hawaii, he is intercepting his wife, Kate Maher ’97, and their dog, Blue, in Palo Alto, California—Kate is a professor in earth system science at Stanford—or in Crested Butte, Colorado—where she conducts her research (“between epic mountain bike rides”). Matt sees a close group of Dartmouth friends on a near-annual basis and most recently connected with Will Harper to hike the “rim to rim to rim” trail of the Grand Canyon.

Eric Paley was selected by The Boston Globe for its first annual “Tech Power Players 50,” which recognizes the most influential and interesting individuals in the Massachusetts technology space. Eric is a partner at Founder Collective, a seed-stage venture capital fund, where he led investments in Uber, Whoop, and Formlabs, among others. Previously Eric founded Brontes Technologies, a 3-D-imaging firm that was acquired by 3M.

Kim (Rogers) Leslie emailed me from Seward, Alaska, amid a luxurious span of sunny days on the Alaskan coastline. She, her husband, and daughter just returned from their annual “Father’s Day Family Ski Camp,” which Kim wrote is held on “the mountain behind our house.” For the event, families don heavy backpacks and hike up to make base camp in a natural bowl that holds snow year-round. They then climb up, ski down, and repeat. This year the camp was visited by one black bear, four mountain goats, and many marmots. Kim was also about to take an intensive sailing course, challenging herself to learn something new. She hopes her 45-year-old body and brain cooperate with the steep learning curve. Good luck, Kim; let us know how it goes!
