Builder, not talker.

I spent seven years as a Marine Corps infantry officer — two combat deployments, planning operations against adversaries who shoot back, and advising senior commanders. The Marines taught me the discipline that runs everything I do now: think through the problem first. Objectives, constraints, assets. Plan for first contact, because no plan survives it.

Today I apply that discipline to AI. I lead enterprise AI transformation for large organizations, and I build the systems myself — I've never trusted a slide deck I couldn't ship. I'm a real estate investor of more than a decade, and my own business runs on agents I built: automated guest communications, a concierge agent, and an accounting system that does my books and taxes in real time.

I also teach. This fall I'm running a workshop at UCLA where students lead an AI transformation inside a simulated company — the executives, customers, and stakeholders are all AI agents. I hold an Executive MBA from UCLA Anderson and serve on the advisory board of the Easton Technology Management Center.

My mission is simple: put the application of AI in the hands of the people who actually know their craft. The age of AI won't be won by technologists. It'll be won by experts.
