I'm a full stack AI strategist
and operator.
My 17 years in tech and 10 in product help you learn what to build and why, construct a well-oiled machine, then execute — and a whole lot more.
AI Leadership + Vision
What are the right OKRs? Who is our ideal use case? What do we build first? What do we do well?
AI Ops + Implementation
What are we building? In what order? Why? Is this the most impactful thing to work on? Does it help us hit OKRs?
Workshops + Facilitation
How do we get aligned? How do we enable key workflows? How does the solution look, feel, and work?
Speaking + Thought Leadership
What is the full world of our audience? What do they actually need? Keynotes, panels, and the hard questions.
Wanna Get Serious?
Then We Have to Think Differently.
My philosophy involves working principles that help guide us to a fruitful, earnest engagement. Here are two examples:
Bring People to the Table — No Silos
I have a rep for getting the right people in the room to get aligned, surface hard conversations, and make clear decisions to move the product and company forward. Titles don't matter.
Ask Hard Questions, Be Intellectually Honest
The truth is the way, so I make it my priority to leverage my curiosity in pursuit of emotional and intellectual honesty, truth, and rigor. It's in reflection and conflict that we grow — and more often than not, this way of being leads to insights we can then address together.
Who is this guy?
Founder. Facilitator. Philosopher.
17+ years across startups, enterprise, and everything in between. Founded Gardenio (Techstars Sustainability '21). Currently fractional Head of AI at ClimeCo. Philosophy degree from Brown. I host intellectual gatherings, train boxing, and think too hard about everything. Austin, TX.
I Come From Philosophy, Not Engineering
That means I start with 'what problem are we actually solving' and 'who are we solving it for' — not 'what's the coolest tool.' Frameworks matter. So does taste.
I Build Rooms for Other People
Discussion potlucks, storytelling events, facilitated workshops, intellectual salons. I've spent my life creating containers for belonging and depth. I bring that same energy to organizations.
