For over two decades I have dedicated my professional life to systems of consequence; from operational decision-making in complex environments to strategic innovation at the intersection of leadership, technology, and human outcomes. My career began with service in the United States military, where I served in both the Air Force and National Guard. During this time, I held diverse operational responsibilities including meteorology, intelligence analysis (IMINT and SIGING), and as a pilot with more than 1,800 flight hours, including over 1,000 in combat. These formative experiences instilled enduring principles of rigorous analysis, disciplined execution, and adaptive problem-solving that define the approach I bring to every client engagement.
My pursuit of excellence extends into formal education and scholarly engagement. I am completing a Doctorate in Technology at Purdue University, hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and a Bachelors in Intelligence Studies. This combination of academic rigor and operational depth equips me with both strategic frameworks and practical methodologies for guiding transformational initiatives in complex organizations.
Across my career, I have served as Chairman of a global service organization representing approximately 47,000 Airmen, advocating for strategic policy, organizational development, and systems improvement. These roles have strengthened my acumen in governance, collaborative leadership, and institutional growth.
The Neural Forge philosophy is grounded in a simple yet powerful metaphor: a forge is where raw materials are refashioned into tools of precision under purposeful heat and pressure. Likewise, Neural Forge guides individuals and organizations through transformation processes that require clarity of purpose, structured reflection, and disciplined iteration. Our work is not merely about adopting new technologies or frameworks. it is about elevating performance and capability in measurable ways.
My professional trajectory, from operational missions to organizational strategy, reflects a consistent pattern of functionally bridging high-stakes environments with practical, data-informed solutions. This includes:
Each engagement is approached with a commitment to evidence-based practice, informed by both scholarship and operational experience.
Neural Forge delivers clarity in ambiguity, structure in complexity, and measurable impact. Whether helping an executive team strengthen adaptive leadership capacity, advising organizations on digital transformation roadmaps, or co-designing systems that improve decision velocity, our work is grounded in:
Perfection is an aspirational ideal, not a destination. Throughout my career, I have learned that productive failure, iterative learning, and intellectual humility produce the most enduring and transformative outcomes. I invite you to explore these ideas further through our work; whether in consulting partnerships, leadership development programs, or thought leadership designed to accelerate growth in individuals and teams.
