The Veteran Behind the Mission
Career & Background
I'm a U.S. Army veteran and computer scientist with 25+ years of experience building secure, scalable software systems. After serving in uniform, I transitioned to the private sector where I've led engineering teams, architected enterprise platforms, and advised Fortune 500 executives on technology strategy.
Today, I focus exclusively on helping organizations adopt AI responsibly—designing LLM systems, advising leadership, and teaching teams how to use AI as a force multiplier rather than a replacement.
Teaching Philosophy
AI Should Empower People, Not Replace Them
This isn't just a tagline—it's a principle informed by military leadership. In the Army, I learned that the best outcomes come from augmenting human judgment with better tools and information. That principle is directly applicable to enterprise AI.
I focus on workflows that amplify experts, eliminate drudgery, improve decision quality, and maintain transparency so teams understand how AI is helping them.
Core Focus Areas
- ▸ LLM Architecture: RAG systems, tool use, agentic workflows
- ▸ Internal Copilots: Thought leadership tools, knowledge management systems
- ▸ AI Governance: Risk reduction, compliance, ethical frameworks
- ▸ Executive Enablement: Leadership education, workforce upskilling

Why Work With Me
I don't sell hype. I care about outcomes: revenue, efficiency, trust, and team empowerment. Your success is my success.
I push back on AI applications that replace humans unnecessarily or create risk. Responsible innovation is non-negotiable.
This isn't theoretical. I've shipped production systems, led teams through chaos, and navigated enterprise complexity.
I partner with your existing team. I teach, I don't replace. Your people become stronger at AI because of our work together.
