Tobias, the founder of Point Source Solutions, is developing a water-tech venture that automates water and energy savings where it is most impactful: lawn irrigation. By providing zero-cost, self-powered controllers to low-income households, the platform gives utilities the verified data to manage demand while delivering direct bill relief to ratepayers. Tobias returned to UC Riverside after a 20-year career as a commercial advertising producer overseeing $500K+ budgets and cross-functional teams of 50 or more. Driven by a commitment to water equity, his work in the Inland Empire defends vulnerable communities against the institutional neglect that has become standard operating procedure during water crises.
