About
I've spent thirty years standing between complex systems and the people who need to navigate them.
Early career roles in technical service, credit counseling case management, and emergency dispatch supervision built a foundation in triaging problems, translating complexity, and helping people make decisions under pressure. At 32, I entered seminary and brought that same instinct into pastoral ministry, where I've spent two decades leading organizations, managing operations, counseling through crises, and communicating to diverse audiences every week.
I bring a multi-year AI engagement arc - from research (2021) to designing and delivering education (2023) to building production systems (2025) - combined with deep organizational leadership experience. I think carefully about governance, ethics, and the human side of adoption, because I've spent my career in environments where trust and transparency aren't optional.
