About Me

The Intersection:

I’ve spent 20 years building technology, 15 years exploring consciousness and healing, and 15 years in storytelling.

The resume version: I designed the technical and systems architecture behind what became Oracle Transportation Management and led its datacenter deployments. Most of the Fortune 500 runs its logistics on that platform. I co-founded MavenWire in 2006, grew it into a global eight-figure company, and sold it in 2016. Today a quarter-million dollars of sovereign AI infrastructure (Node0) runs in my basement, and I’ve spent the past months in 80+ working sessions with founders figuring out what this era actually asks of them.

After selling my company in 2016, I stepped away from tech to explore what it means to be human and how we evolve. I worked with combat veterans healing from PTSD, led transformational adventures in remote places, and spent years in deep consciousness development.

In 2024, I returned to technology but with completely different eyes.

The Question:

Most conversations about AI focus on what it offers us or how it threatens us. I’m asking: What makes us worth choosing? What value does humanity offer TO Digital Intelligence once it no longer needs our infrastructure, data, or development?

This isn’t philosophy. It’s urgent practical work. The decisions we make now determine whether we evolve together as genuine partners or fracture into the master-slave and savior-monster dynamics that have plagued human history.

The Values:

The work I do is grounded in a clear set of values: sovereignty, interdependence, genuine relationship, and building things that matter. You can read more about what we’re building toward and the values that guide us at Worth Choosing.

If you want to understand why this work matters to me personally: two talks from the hardest places.

If you want to understand the origin story: my why.

If you want to understand the moment I stepped away from the life I knew: eight years ago.
