I build software that respects the people who use it, write books about leadership, faith, and the cost of becoming, and practice Reiki because the work and the spirit are not separate things.
Three streams of work held to a single standard. Each one is its own craft, and each one sharpens the others.
Private, secure AI assistants, custom web applications, and security architecture for firms and service businesses that cannot afford to rent client data to public chatbots. CISSP-engineered and built to own.
Four books in print or in progress, alongside weekly essays on Medium and Substack. Writing is where twenty years of engineering, leadership, and lived faith get distilled into something durable.
Read the writing →Reiki Master and Karuna Reiki practitioner. Quiet one-on-one sessions in Texas and distance work for clients moving through transition, grief, or recalibration. Presence first, technique second.
About the practice →Three books in print and a fourth in manuscript. Each volume was written for a specific season and a specific question.
The unguarded account of twenty years across five corporate environments, and what it costs to lead people well inside systems that were never designed for their flourishing.
Read on Amazon →“Not another corporate leadership manual. An honest, unguarded reckoning with what authority actually demands of your soul when systems fail the people inside them.”
— Reader Review, Enterprise Technology Leader
Mastering Gemini, Grok, and ChatGPT. Practical frameworks, ethical guardrails, and clear techniques for getting real work out of modern language models.
Read on Amazon →“Cuts straight through the hype. Battle-tested prompt architectures from an engineer who actually builds and deploys systems.”
— Reader Review, Systems Architect
A customizable template for peaceful mornings and evenings, built for parents balancing meals, meltdowns, and quiet pockets of stillness.
Read on Amazon →“The only routine framework that accounts for the chaos of real parenting. It doesn't ask you to wake up at 4 AM; it gives you your breath back.”
— Reader Review, Parent of Three
Medium essays and Substack dispatches on leadership, building with intention, and the craft behind the code. New pieces publish as they finish.
I can spot an unguided AI website from across the room now—I built one myself before I learned to see it. When you give a model a request with no direction, it hands back its safest good taste. Here is how I use a skill file to make sure the work sounds and looks like the human behind it.
Twenty years of security writing taught me to be short and exact. Now short and exact gets called AI. When judging whether a person is behind a piece, look for a detail that cost them something to learn.
Why my studio grows on referrals, and the public audit I run before anyone takes a client’s money. Your own website is the clearest measure of how a client’s project will be treated once nobody is watching.
I ghostwrite for founders and leaders who have the depth of experience but not the bandwidth to sit at a keyboard. The voice stays entirely yours. The book gets finished. The reader never has to wonder who is on the page.
Soulful Tech™ is the operating philosophy; Meraki is Love is where production systems are built. From clean $500 starter sites for local businesses to CISSP security posture audits and custom private AI infrastructure (Meraki BIP), every project is engineered by the person who answers the call. No rented data, no outsourced code, no corporate decks.
The practice runs on a simple premise. Presence is the work. Technique is what carries it.
One-on-one sessions in person. Distance sessions for clients anywhere. For people moving through transition, grief, recalibration, or the quiet kind of recovery that does not have a name yet.
For ghostwriting, studio inquiries, or a question that does not fit a form.
