Twenty years in healthcare technology taught me how to lead through complexity: by scaling AI across 40,000 technologists, building organizations from the ground up, and turning big ideas into viable products. But it wasn't until agentic AI made the leap that I went back to writing code, and it reminded me of the time I spent writing novels. Then, I created worlds with words. Now, I create worlds with code. Additionally, I advise the University of San Francisco on AI programs for working professionals and spend a probably unreasonable amount of time birding. There's more below.

Strategic AI Board Advisor
Advising one of the nation’s leading universities on AI certification programs built for working professionals — flexible, practical, and trusted by the Fortune 100.
About the program: Created to address the challenge faced by many organizations today in that they recognize AI's potential but lack the strategic framework to deploy AI effectively. The course provides diagnostic tools and practical, real-life examples of execution discipline that are required to move from experimentation to measurable business impact. Presented in an asynchronous, hybrid or in-person setting, this course helps close the gap for organizations.
