I am married to my best friend and am the proud father of two Auburn University graduates, both thriving in their respective careers. For all the places I have been to and the experiences I have gathered, my family remains the center of my life.
My interests span archaeology and biblical research, skydiving, BASE jumping, and rock climbing, writing and drawing, and design and development. Across those pursuits runs a common thread: a desire to explore, understand, and create. I am as drawn to questions about the ancient world as I am to the possibilities taking shape in the next generation of technology.
I have traveled to every continent except Antarctica, lived in the United States, India, and Israel, and spent more than 20 years immersed in international cultures. Those experiences have deepened my appreciation for different perspectives and the importance of understanding people within the context of their lives. I served in the U.S. Army as a team leader with a special operations unit under Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and later supported global anti-human-trafficking organizations through field-based roles.
Today, I bring that breadth of experience to my work in AI strategy, design, and development. I am especially interested in creating AI systems that turn complex capabilities into practical, intuitive experiences. I enjoy shaping how a system works—from understanding the problem and mapping its workflows to designing its interface and using AI to help bring it to life. Whether the goal is to automate repetitive tasks, support better decisions, or create new business opportunities, I focus on building tools that people can understand and use with confidence.
I see the present as one of the most extraordinary periods of technological change in human history—and approach it with the same curiosity that has carried me across the world. Designing and developing AI systems brings together my creativity, interest in technology, and drive to solve real problems. I remain an explorer at heart, with more to learn, more to build, and more to contribute.
