About Me:

I seek to empower others to help make our communities freer and safer in a complex, coercive, and sometimes violent world. 

I have served in war and traveled the world, studied Economics as a science of human behavior, and I apply my passion for innovation, scientific rigor, and collaboration to the field of national security.

I created two Machine Learning companies, Giant Oak, Inc. and Consilient, Inc., to bring behavioral science to computer science to empower those on the front lines of combatting coercion.

I love to lecture, write, and engage in research.
