T.R. Price

I build decentralized systems that make environmental evidence more credible and regenerative finance more accountable.

What I work on

Four areas where mapping, money and open technology meet — each aimed at making environmental work easier to fund and easier to trust.

Regenerative finance

Funding models that pay for ecosystem restoration — carbon and environmental credits recorded on blockchains, community currencies, and finance tied to measurable impact.

Environmental intelligence

Using satellites, sensors and decentralized networks to monitor, report and verify what is actually happening on the land — and turning that into data people can act on.

Protocols & decentralized finance

The plumbing behind it: stablecoins, treasury design, decentralized exchanges and automation that moves money across many blockchains without middlemen.

Private & open AI

AI you can run and own yourself — local models, agents, and decentralized computing and storage instead of rented platforms.

Experience

Jan 2024 – Aug 2025

Chief Science Officer

  • Connected the organization to more than $57M of real-world environmental assets, and mapped paths to $2B more.
  • Built the frameworks used to assess those assets' impact and financial value.
  • Coordinated speaking events and brought on advisors across several countries.
May 2022 – present

Founder

Treetable LLC — Moffat, Colorado
  • Wrote the technical management plan for regenerating 120 acres of desertified land.
  • Set up the initial infrastructure and business plan for the project.
Nov 2021 – Nov 2023

Founder

  • Raised more than $100,000 in grants.
  • Built a decentralized system for monitoring, reporting and verifying environmental outcomes — and grew that team to 75+ people in two months.
  • Ran an early regenerative-finance metaverse event that raised about $9,000 for environmental organizations.
Nov 2021 – Oct 2023

Founder

  • Built the automation that distributes very small (micro and nano-scale) carbon credits.
  • Wrote the initial tokenization framework and led partnerships with on-chain carbon credit producers.
Dec 2021 – Dec 2023

Advisor

  • Advised on using satellite monitoring for farms transitioning to regenerative practices.
  • Opened doors for a possible expansion into New Zealand.
2015 – 2021

Earlier work

Peace Corps Paraguay · GIS teaching · consulting · community organizing
  • Paraguay (2017–19): mapped the country's first orienteering courses and an Atlantic Forest reserve, and helped bring beekeeping training to local families.
  • Produced a client's first below-ground hydrology maps — later used in a court case.
  • Led waste-diversion data collection in Salida, Colorado, and presented the findings to the regional council of governments.
