I have always been drawn to understanding how things work. In my youth, that meant taking apart computers, cars, HVAC units, and anything mechanical or electronic I could get my hands on. I wanted to see the hidden logic behind every system, the relationship between the parts, and the principles that made something reliable or unpredictable. Over time, that curiosity expanded from machines to people, decisions, organizations, and even my own health. I wanted to understand not only how things function but why they matter and what it means to use them well.

This instinct led naturally into a career in IT and cybersecurity, where the same questions apply at scale. For more than 30 years I have been a founder, technology executive, advisor, and problem solver. I have built systems, fixed systems, rebuilt systems, guided teams, and helped organizations navigate the growing challenges around cyber threats, operational failure, and technology-driven change. The deeper I went into technology, the more I realized that every technical decision is also a business decision and ultimately a human one. Technology does not operate in isolation. It reflects the intentions, ethics, and priorities of the people who design, deploy, and manage it.

My background in philosophy and ethics plays a central role in this perspective. Studying ethics taught me how to reason about consequences, how to see beyond surface-level symptoms, and how to understand the values and motivations driving human behavior. It taught me to slow down and question assumptions, to explore the gap between what is efficient and what is right, and to recognize that technology amplifies both the strengths and the weaknesses of the people who use it. These ideas have shaped the way I lead, the way I advise, and the way I approach questions around cybersecurity, AI, leadership, and organizational resilience.

We live in a moment where rapid innovation, shifting workplace dynamics, generational differences, and new pressures on human well-being make leadership more challenging than ever. While the technologies evolve quickly, the underlying philosophical questions remain remarkably consistent. What is our responsibility to others? How do we make choices under uncertainty? What does it mean to build trustworthy systems and trustworthy teams? How do leaders act with clarity and intention when the world is moving faster than they can keep up? These questions continue to guide my work.

Purpose and family anchor me in that search. My faith gives me direction and humility, and my health journey has shown me that resilience, energy, and clarity are essential for good leadership. The principles that guide healthy humans are similar to the principles that guide healthy systems. Both require alignment, maintenance, foresight, and a sense of meaning behind the effort. I believe that leaders cannot lead well if they neglect the systems within themselves or the systems they are responsible for.

I created this site to bring all of these perspectives together. It is a place where I can share what I have learned through decades of hands-on technical work, business leadership, cybersecurity strategy, and philosophical study. It is also a place to explore what I continue to learn as the world evolves. Some insights come from solving difficult technical failures. Others come from building teams, mentoring future leaders, wrestling with ethical dilemmas, or trying to live a healthier and more intentional life.

My hope is that these reflections offer something meaningful to anyone navigating complexity in their work or personal life. Whether you are a leader, a board member, an attorney seeking clarity on technical matters, or someone trying to make better decisions in a rapidly changing world, I hope you find ideas here that help you think more clearly, lead more thoughtfully, and live with more purpose. I do not claim to have all the answers, but I have spent many years seeking them, and I remain committed to sharing what I know and continuing to learn along the way.
