Where ideas get examined.
Across various environments and modalities, I break down common concepts in business and culture with disciplined analysis and humor, focusing on what actually happens once they’re examined without reverence.
If you’re here for ideas that hold up under scrutiny, they’re below.
Everything here is written, built, and curated by me.
No committee needed.

About
Endurance athlete studying humans the hard way. Former sports writer, now tech leader and multidisciplinary entrepreneur. I use satire to explain behavior, long runs to process meetings, and humor as applied science.
I study what happens to people, technology, and decisions once pressure is applied. My background is in anthropology, which mostly means I'm trained to notice the gap between what systems claim to do and what they actually reward. Working in tech across cybersecurity, defense, healthcare, and infrastructure, I'm interested in what happens after an idea leaves the slide deck. Good intentions are adorable. Outcomes are measurable.
I work with:
-
Ideas that don’t tolerate simplification
-
Systems whose breakdowns expose hidden assumptions
-
Projects that produce verifiable results
Recently, I built and sold a strategic consultancy for organizations in moments they would prefer not to be in. I'm asked to speak at company kickoffs, technology conferences, and sales forums on topics including ethical hacking, artificial intelligence, organizational design, and culture. My style combines rigor with humor, mostly because uncomfortable truths tend to be funny.
My process usually involves:
-
Asking a reasonable question
-
Pursuing it until it becomes inconvenient
-
Sharing only what survives contact with reality
All while finding humor in the rigorously verified nonsense of it all.
I run long distances, write about behavior as something observable and measurable, and speak about complex topics, even when they resist being flattering.
