20 years redesigning broken systems inside a Fortune 50. 10,000 hours inside the AI tools — building, breaking, shipping. Now I help operators turn the hype into something they can actually use.
By the numbers
Twenty years at Verizon. Four President's Cabinet wins. Six major market turnarounds. The only field leader picked for the company's executive red team. I left at the top, not because I was burned out, but because I could see what AI was about to do to every operating system inside every institution, and I wanted to be hands-on with the tools while the rules were still being written.
Two years later, six live products, 30,000 monthly users, and close to 10,000 hours in the tools. I'm not watching this from the sidelines. I'm building inside it every day.
Not selling anything. Not handing you a deck and disappearing. Just writing what I'm learning, in real time.
Operator's notes from inside the build. New ones in your inbox.
You're in.
The next field note will land in your inbox when there's something worth saying.
20 years at Verizon. Started at a mall kiosk in Spokane, ended as Associate Vice President of Solutions Architecture for National Technical Sales reporting to the CRO of Verizon Business. 12 promotions. Four President's Cabinet wins. The only field leader selected for Verizon's Master Red Team Program.
The last two years, full-time in AI. Building, breaking, shipping. Writing what I'm learning.
A voice-first family legacy platform I built with my father. He tested every feature. If he couldn't use it without help, it wasn't ready.
One of 12 internal leaders hand-selected by Verizon to apply Bryce Hoffman's decision-support red teaming methodology to enterprise strategy. Four weeks of training at HQ, then flown out to review strategies a week at a time and present findings directly to c-level executives. I was the only person from the field brought in.
Spokane, Washington.
