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

 

I am a U.S. Army Cyber Officer focused on the integration of artificial intelligence into national security and high-performance environments. My work sits at the intersection of policy, technology, and leadership, supporting the adoption of emerging capabilities across defense and human performance systems.

​

In parallel with my military service, I am the founder of CGM Sports, an applied AI company focused on human performance and readiness. The platform integrates biometric wearables, AI analytics, and coaching workflows to translate data from systems such as WHOOP, Catapult, and Oura into actionable, real-time insights for coaches and athletes.

​

Previously, I conducted 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 early venture work through the MIT Martin Trust Center and Harvard Innovation Labs, exploring how AI can enhance human performance and decision-making in complex environments. My professional foundation began at the United States Military Academy at West Point, where I served as captain of the Army Wrestling Team.

​

Through the RTH Foundation, I mentor student-athletes and support communities centered on faith, discipline, and purpose-driven leadership. My work is guided by a simple principle: building technologies and people that strengthen America’s long-term resilience.
