Action AI. Real world systems. Trustworthy AI.
I'm a founder, operator, and hands on builder. My work spans industrial operations, hard tech commercialization, computer vision, and trustworthy AI products.
The common thread is practical: understand the people and the workflow, build what matters, and stay close enough to the work to know whether it actually helps.
Builder by instinct. Operator by experience.
Married, father of four, based in Provo, Utah, and happiest when an ambitious idea becomes something people can actually use.
How my mind works
I have always learned by taking things apart, reading across disciplines, and asking what else a system could become. That curiosity only matters if it survives contact with the people who have to use the result.

The person behind the work
I'm a husband and father of four. I care about being present, helping my children become better than I am, and building a life where ambition supports the people I love instead of replacing them.
I hope people leave my work with more hope, and a clearer sense that technology can create time and capability for deeper meaning.
I have always been a builder. As a kid I took things apart, read patents, sketched machines, and tried to understand how the pieces fit. That same instinct now shows up in companies, operating systems, research, and AI products built to hold up in the real world.

How I work
I would rather describe what is real, what is still uncertain, and what the evidence actually supports than let ambitious language outrun the work.

Applied AI
The best AI products begin where a real system already has stakes: a physical workflow, a data workflow, a release process, or a product surface where mistakes matter.

Applied AI
AI's generality is the breakthrough. The product work is building the harness, memory, tools, evaluations, and context that let that generality do real work.

Model evaluation
AI Psychometrics Lab makes an important point: we should not only use models, we should measure how they behave.
