Hello – and welcome!

I help Senior Leaders navigate the intersection of human behavior, organizational risk, and the second half of a life well-lived.

I am a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology, a licensed Professional Engineer, a counselor, a speaker, and a writer. I have spent thirty years at the intersection of how people think, how organizations fail, and what it takes to build something that lasts. I work with senior leaders on security risk, organizational resilience, and the kind of strategic clarity that doesn’t come from a consulting firm’s slide deck.

I publish two newsletters: Risk Optics Weekly — intelligence and analysis for leaders accountable for security — and Backroads & Highways, a personal dispatch from the middle of the second half of life. Both are free. Both are honest. Neither has a paywall

I am an Overseer and Strategist, I help people deal with change.

Harmony through organization, care, and connection.

Ingenuity is the key to creative innovation.

Excellence in all endeavors – set the standard, don’t follow it.

Courage in empathy fosters deep connections.

I am an independent global analyst, organizational psychologist, engineering generalist, researcher, writer, speaker, teacher. A modern business strategist and visionary with a focus on the long-term, I am a Ph.D. specializing in marginalized populations, Counselor at ‘The House of Acts‘ in Vallejo, and Principal at SpecTHINK, LLC. Publisher of Risk Optics Weekly and Backroads & Highways on Substack. Speaker at GSX 2026.
