Bringing order to chaos.

A decade owning safety-critical technical programs in Marine aviation, then six years running operations in payments and consumer products. I find the constraint holding the schedule and remove it, and the systems I build are AI-first: they keep running, and keep getting faster, long after I leave.

    United States Marine Corps

    USMC · Aviation logistics, maintenance & operations

    Chaos

    Paper tracking. A three-year parts backlog. A shop coded priority 9 when the governing regulation specified priority 3.

    Order

    A digital tracking system that outlived my tenure and became the model adopted across the Navy and Marine Corps.

    RallyPay

    Payments infrastructure

    Chaos

    A payments company scaling fast. Inbound support volume up 400%. Card-testing attacks hammering the gateway. Compliance obligations across PCI, KYC/AML, NACHA, and the card networks.

    Order

    An operating cadence between decision and delivery, a compliance program that never failed an examination, and a security layer that cut attacks by 99%.

    PMB Companies

    A portfolio of manufacturing, brand, and storefront companies

    Chaos

    One owner, a dozen businesses, two facilities, four kinds of operation, and decisions that arrive on a few days' notice. Nothing between the decision and the floor except whoever picks it up.

    Order

    A chief of staff who owns the follow-through: six production divisions built from an empty floor, a safety program adopted at every site, and four to six launches in flight at any time without the owner watching the date.

    Zenblis

    AI-native senior care marketplace

    Chaos

    Families asking ChatGPT about a community and getting years-old complaints repeated as fact. Referral agencies paid to point you somewhere. Directories too thin to help anyone.

    Order

    An AI-native marketplace and directory I conceived and designed end to end: the brand, the front-end experience, the go-to-market motion, the content and SEO system, and the facility outreach engine.

    Mythener

    The OS of indie publishing

    Chaos

    An author's manuscript, outline, story bible, editor notes, beta feedback, and publication files live in six tools that do not know about each other. Across a series, nobody can answer the only question that matters: what is true at this point in this story?

    Order

    One workspace where the prose builds the story bible, confirmed facts keep their authority, and a continuity engine checks the manuscript before a reader ever sees it. Live at mythener.com.

Principles

Follow-through

I write down what got decided, who has it, and when it lands. Then I go get it. Things rarely fail because nobody knew. They fail because nobody was watching the date.

Systems that stick

Anyone can roll out a tracker. The test is whether it is still running in month six, after the novelty wears off and the first person tries to route around it. Mine have been.

Filtering

I handle what I can handle. If I am bringing it to you, there is a reason, and I will have already done the work to make the decision a short one.

Range

I read a P&L and a hazard communication plan with the same attention. Equally at home on a production floor and in a software engineering standup.

AI-first

Every system I build now assumes AI in the loop: intake, tracking, documentation, and the first pass on analysis. People make the decisions. The tooling keeps the date.

Looking for a program manager?

I am looking for a Technical Program Manager role in safety-critical or infrastructure programs, and I still take consulting engagements. Either way, the deliverable is the same: a schedule that holds, decisions that turn into shipped outcomes, and systems that keep running after I leave.
