Heading 5
Hawk River
Wind/Solar/BESS
Snapshot
2 counties, 4 AOIs, 100+ miles/day.
Goal: 650 MW wind.
Viability: 38,000 acres.
40% left to sign. 11 weeks.
Philosophy
Desperate times call for disparate members. Hawk Creek was a finish-line sprint—tight clock, clear acreage target, no room for drift. I joined a capable team already in motion, not to steer but to sync. Land work is usually solo, but when you drop into a crew with mixed styles and instincts, it’s not just collaboration—it’s calibration.
There’s no single pathway to a deal. But when the stakes are real and the deadline’s not moving, you find out which ones work—and which ones you’ll carry into the next negotiation.

Due Diligence
Mapped ownership across two counties and four AOIs, reconciling title inconsistencies and parcel overlaps.
Tracked contract thresholds daily to maintain viability—38,000 acres minimum.
Verified wind viability, access, and encumbrances under tight timelines.
Coordinated with legal and GIS teams to flag risks and clear paths to signature.
Negotiation:
Entered with 40% of land unsigned and 11 weeks on the clock. Balanced urgency with credibility—no bluff, no drift.
Adapted pitch styles to landowner profiles: legacy, speculative, absentee.
Closed the gap through calibrated outreach, principled follow-up, and tactical pivots.
Project cleared viability.
Take Away:
Hawk Creek was a pressure test—tight clock, high acreage threshold, no margin for error. We closed the gap through layered due diligence and calibrated negotiation. It delivered.
