ONE OPERATING IDEA
The useful work happens between disciplines.
Standards become procedures. Data becomes decisions. Business problems become software. AI capability becomes a controlled workflow. I tend to work in the connective tissue.

PROJECTS & EXPERIMENTS
Things I built because the existing process annoyed me.
Some are software. Some are research. Some are small businesses or public resources. All of them are attempts to make a complicated system more legible.

CURRENT THINKING
Field notes from the messy middle.
AI AT WORK
The demo is not the workflow.
A useful AI system needs ownership, review, exception handling, and a place in the actual work—not just an impressive prompt.
AUDIT TRENCHES
Audit is a systems problem disguised as a documentation problem.
The binder is often where broken handoffs become visible. The real fix usually starts further upstream.
SYSTEMS & WORKFLOWS
Boring infrastructure survives Monday morning.
The best internal tools are often smaller, clearer, and easier to control than the fashionable architecture suggests.
SPEAKING & TRAINING
Complex subjects,
made usable.
I’ve trained teams, presented to boards, led national webinars, and taught professional audiences at home and abroad.

THE CONNECTING THREAD
“I’m a Florida CPA who somehow ended up running Linux machines, building AI routers, teaching accounting standards, creating too many web projects, and occasionally overthinking guitars.”
The connecting idea is simple: complicated systems should work better for the people who depend on them.
