These days, I'm...

President & Principal Consultant at Snap Synapse LLC. That's the business I started back in 2004 as the catch-all for my corporate consulting work. Since then, it's mostly been me helping companies with their Learning & Development needs, technical systems & strategies, and general Project Management & Change Management stuff.

As such, I have bizarrely wide array of skills that extend much deeper than most people would expect. I'm truly passionate about learning and am always experimenting with new things. For the last couple years, that's been AI (specifically working with locally-installed open-source models tweaked to specific needs) and Privacy by Design (systems-based understanding of data security). Though lately I've also been rekindling some musical offerings.

I like to spend time...

• hiking
• listening
• making music
• taking pictures with my nice camera
• trailer camping in & around Utah

And I'm usually thinking deeply about...

• longevity (healthspan, biology, behavior design)
• the future of humanity (environment, technology, finance)
• resilience (community, redundancy, creativity)
• data structures (security, privacy, stability)
• systems & design (knowledge management, ontologies, network states)

• aviation (student pilot, flying small planes)

I'm probably forgetting like 500 other things. Sometimes it's easier to ask me what I'm not into or what I haven't done!
