Silicon Valley veteran turned Austin CTO. 25 years building AI technology that amplifies human potential. I lead with heart, code with precision, and believe the best AI makes humans more capable, not less necessary.
25 years in Silicon Valley taught me to ship fast and think big. Bitcoin since 2013. Burning Man artist. Austin-based CTO who codes with both hemispheres - analytical rigor meets emotional intelligence.
My path began with significant challenges—growing up with an alcoholic father and navigating learning disabilities that made traditional education difficult. These early experiences taught me resilience and the importance of finding alternative approaches to success.
After discovering my passion for technology, I built a successful career in Silicon Valley, working with cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies. But something was missing—the human element that makes technology truly meaningful.
This realization led me to develop a heart-centered approach to technology, combining analytical rigor with emotional intelligence. Today, as an Austin-based AI entrepreneur, I'm dedicated to creating AI solutions that enhance human potential rather than replace it.
When I'm not coding or strategizing, you might find me exploring consciousness at Burning Man )'(, mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs, or diving deep into the latest AI research.
