About
I build AI tools that turn real operations problems into things teams actually use.
My background is energy: drilling rigs, directional work and downhole tool design, then technical sales and leadership. Most recently I built a North American industrial AI business from scratch, growing it to about 36 enterprise accounts including Chevron, Oxy and BP. I’m a U.S. Army veteran and hold three granted U.S. patents.
Today I design and orchestrate AI systems: study and training apps, field tools, sales systems, and agents running on both cloud and local models. I also run The Prior Art Project, publishing open technical disclosures so good ideas stay free to build on.
I’m looking to connect with companies bringing AI into their operations, builders who want a partner who knows how field work really gets done, and AI people in the Houston and Woodlands area.
