My work sits at the intersection of technology, leadership, and the human search for meaning. Over the past two decades, my path has moved through service, entrepreneurship, and deep technical practice—each phase shaping how I now advise organizations and individuals navigating complexity and change. Early in my life, military service instilled a respect for discipline, responsibility, and care for others under pressure. In my twenties, I carried those lessons into entrepreneurship, founding and supporting early-stage ventures where resource constraints demanded clarity, adaptability, and trust. By my thirties, I had built and led a digital transformation agency, working across industries to help organizations modernize systems, rethink experiences, and align technology with real human needs.
Across hundreds of projects—spanning startups, global enterprises, nonprofits, healthcare institutions, energy companies, and universities—I have served in roles that blend strategy, design, and execution. My work has included leading full-scale digital transformations, building AI-enabled platforms, designing complex data and GIS systems, developing consumer and enterprise software, and guiding organizations through moments of growth, transition, or reinvention. I have worked closely with founders, executives, and boards, often translating between technical teams and leadership to ensure that innovation serves people rather than overwhelms them. These experiences have shaped a perspective rooted not just in what technology can do, but in what it should do.
Over time, my focus has shifted from building systems to helping people make sense of them. Today, my work centers on advisory roles, mentorship, writing, and speaking—supporting leaders who are navigating the ethical, cultural, and personal implications of rapid technological change. I am particularly interested in how innovation affects identity, decision-making, relationships, and organizational health. I approach technology as a human system first, informed by lived experience, reflection, and an understanding that progress without wisdom often comes at a cost.
Alongside my professional work, my inner life has been shaped by long-standing engagement with both Buddhism and Christianity. These traditions have informed how I think about suffering, responsibility, compassion, and humility—especially in environments driven by speed, scale, and performance. I do not approach leadership or technology as value-neutral domains; I believe they are deeply moral spaces that shape how people live and who they become. My long-term aim is to serve as a trusted advisor to CEOs, founders, and boards; to complete a book that explores the human dimensions of technology and modern work; and to contribute meaningfully through board service and mentorship to organizations seeking not just growth, but depth, integrity, and purpose.
