Helping people increase their chances of achieving wise success.

I study humans — and myself — through sport, technology, and business. My work lives at the intersection of how people grow, what they express, and what they build across a lifetime.

How I Work

Sport, technology, and business are not separate fields. They are three lenses for understanding human growth and expression.

Through Sport
Sport is the most honest laboratory we have for human behavior. It compresses decision-making, pressure, identity, and growth into a form everyone can recognize. I use it to study what drives people and how to build better structures for development.
Through Technology
Technology changes what's possible — in organizations, in classrooms, and in individual lives. I build tools, pipelines, and curricula that help people develop real capability with data and AI, not just familiarity with it.
Through Business
Business is where decisions get made and resources get allocated. Understanding the systems, incentives, and behaviors that shape organizations is what makes the other two lenses practical — and consequential.

What I'm Exploring

Questions I keep coming back to. Some are research. Some are practice. One might become something bigger.

01
Sports identity as the missing bridge in higher education
Students arrive at college carrying years of sports experience — discipline, resilience, team dynamics — and most institutions have no framework for it. What if that identity was the on-ramp to academic and personal formation, rather than something left at the door?

02
What data literacy actually requires
Most organizations can collect data. Very few can use it wisely. The gap is not technical — it's conceptual, behavioral, and organizational. I'm researching what it actually takes to build a data-literate culture, not just a data-capable one.
Research · ISBA
03
AI as a mirror for human decision-making
The most interesting thing about AI in business education is not what it automates — it's how it surfaces the assumptions and biases in human judgment. I'm building courses and exercises around this idea rather than around the tools themselves.
