I am an Air Force Special Warfare Officer currently based at the United States Air Force Academy, where I recruit and develop the next generation of Special Warfare officers across the country. Additionally, I work to advance autonomous technologies to benefit the joint force. Since 2024, I have worked as the Air Force's technical point of contact for Pterodynamics, a drone company developing a Group 2 UAS for AFSPECWAR. I also served as an Executive Officer for the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, researching autonomous military systems.

In 2023, I deployed across Eastern Europe leading precision strike teams, and most recently deployed in 2025 to Poland as a Senior Air Advisor supporting over 1,500 partner drone operations. During that deployment, I used an LLM to build a Python script that cut a seven-hour intelligence analysis cycle down to one hour.

I'm interested in AI-augmented decision support for tactical operators. I co-authored a piece in the Modern War Institute's Journal on Innovation and Autonomy proposing a three-layer agentic architecture to augment JTAC decision-making, then built a Raspberry Pi prototype that won the "Warfighter Impact" award at the DAFBOT Agentic Challenge. I'm currently working with the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop it into an operational tool. I am also enrolled in a post-baccalaureate mathematics sequence to build the technical foundation for graduate-level work.

My educational background is in foreign policy. I did my undergrad at Yale, where I studied Global Affairs and conducted research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on nuclear deterrence policy.

I enjoy mountaineering, rowing, and hanging out with my wife and pet schnauzer.
