02 · Creative systems
Make the new thing useful.
The interesting part of AI is not the demo. It is what happens when a real team can use it on Monday morning.
I translate fast-moving model capabilities into practical workflows, training, governance, creative acceleration, and lightweight tools. The goal is not “more AI.” The goal is better work with less friction.
Selected focus
- AI adoption + training
- Workflow automation
- Local-agent pilots
- Model evaluation
- Vibe-coded tools
03 · Live experiences
Make it happen. Then open the doors.
The idea is the beginning. Getting it into the room is the work.
I connect the creative side of an event with the practical side: the visuals, vendors, print, staging, logistics, and content capture. There’s always a detail that needs solving before the doors open.

04 · Made to move
Always building something.
Motorcycles, BMX, photography, cooking, product ideas, and Arizona roads keep the work connected to motion, materials, and people.
The mediums change, but the instinct does not: understand how something works, improve it, give it a point of view, then put it into the world.
