I spend my time at the frontier where technology and humanity converge. A scientist, strategist, and storyteller, I've led national biotechnology initiatives, advised global corporations, and written fiction that explores the ethics of engineered futures. From the Pentagon to startups to self-supported expeditions across Alaska, I build what doesn’t yet exist—because the future I want to live in doesn't exist yet. My work spans genetic engineering, AI, and public policy, always anchored in the belief that progress must be both bold and responsible. I write The Connected Ideas Project, a newsletter exploring how emerging technologies shape the world—and what it means to be human within it.
