I build AI systems
that actually
get used.
AI Leader, Builder & MarTech Founder
Started in marketing. Moved through agency, enterprise, and SaaS. Went all-in on AI in 2022 and haven't stopped building since. I make AI tools that actually get used, run adoption programs that stick, and explain what AI can and can't do to people who don't follow every model release. Previously taught at Iowa State and WVU.
