Shaping The Future of AI, National Security, and Human Performance

 

I’m a U.S. Army Cyber Officer and AI & National Security Strategist focused on integrating emerging technologies into America’s defense and human performance systems. My work bridges policy, technology, and leadership, ensuring that the next generation of AI systems strengthens our national resilience.

​

In addition to serving as an Army Officer, founded CGM Sports, a performance-tech company that fuses biometric wearables, AI analytics, and human coaching to elevate athletic programs. By translating data from WHOOP, Catapult, and Oura into real-time insights, we’re helping coaches and athletes unlock peak readiness through precision analytics.

​

Before building CGM, I led AI policy research at MIT, authoring “U.S. AI Policy – A Balancing Act” and contributing to the AI Policy for the World initiative. I also incubated my first venture work through the MIT Martin Trust Center and Harvard Innovation Labs, where I explored how AI could enhance human performance and decision-making. My journey began at West Point, where I captained the Army Wrestling Team.

​

Through the RTH Foundation, I mentor student-athletes and invest in communities that foster faith, discipline, and purpose-driven leadership. My life’s mission is simple: build technologies, athletes, and people that strengthen America’s future.
