My current projects include:

AI & Technology

I'm deeply curious and constantly trying to learn new things. Right now, I'm focused on artificial intelligence—specifically how we can build and apply practical AI systems to benefit our personal lives and professional workflows.

A little about me:

Roots

I'm a fifth-generation Colorado native who grew up working on my family’s cattle ranch. I carry a deep appreciation for Colorado, its people, history, institutions, and landscape.

Education

I strongly believe in the transformative power of education. As a college student, I fought to keep college available and affordable for future Colorado students. In my work today, I hope to play a small role in making education available for future generations.

Outdoors

Outside of work, most of my time is spent in the high country. I’m an avid hiker, camper, and winter skier, and my dog Boomer, is always with me. I’m also an avid supporter of our local sports teams—the Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and our college athletes.

Makership

I like to build things independently and learn new skills, whether that is a new AI-coded app or a 3-d printed camp kitchen for backcountry adventures.

I’m powered by coffee.
