I'm a second-year MBA candidate at Stanford and a former Naval Officer. I am online at Substack, LinkedIn, GitHub, and Goodreads.

I began my career at the National Security Agency, working in low-level network exploitation for cyber operations. Then I supported maritime cryptology in the Pacific. Before active duty, I studied computer science at the US Naval Academy. I’m married, have a dog, am Christian, and run ultramarathons. Now you know almost everything about me.
