Founder. CEO.
I lead Futuri, an AI company serving 7,000+ clients in 22 countries. AI is changing how companies sell, produce, and make decisions. My job is putting it into production.
I'm focused on where AI becomes business leverage: what it can do now, what a company's data can actually support, and where the business case is strong enough to act. I am in the architecture reviews. I press engineers on what's durable and profitable versus what's clever. I bring that work into the boardroom, the customer conversation, the product conversation, and the CEO decisions that follow.
TopLine Enterprise, built at Futuri, works like a pit crew for an over-taxed B2B sales team: account intelligence at the right moment, pitch materials reps actually use, and closed-loop campaign attribution, all built on the Futuri Data Platform, which cleans and unifies the data so AI surfaces intelligence, not noise.
I speak to CEO and board-level audiences about the AI decisions they're making right now. Recurring themes: AI and the new business development playbook; what the CRM generation got wrong; how CEOs separate AI possibility from data reality; where AI earns its keep in the next 90 to 180 days.
In 2020, I co-founded SparkTrade with an institutional portfolio manager and a data scientist. It provides Quant as a Service: 13 commercialized strategies for equity selection, weighting, and portfolio construction, validated against 25 years of minute-level data and built for institutional review.
I write on Substack at Anstandig on the Future: essays on AI, the people building with it, and where it's going. I'm also writing a book, Letters to a Young Robot (in progress), written as letters to the first truly self-aware machine for the operators, builders, and CEOs making AI decisions now.
CEO and Founder, Futuri. 7,000+ clients in 22 countries. PE-backed. Helping B2B teams outsell teams bigger than them with AI-powered sales, go-to-market, and data enablement, and helping media companies produce more with smaller teams. Products include TopLine Enterprise, the Futuri Data Platform, and BEACON, the first AI-powered emergency broadcast system, now protecting communities across the United States. futurimedia.com
Board Director, BoxCast. Live streaming and remote production technology. Engaged on AI and product strategy as the company expands into AI-powered live production workflows.
Also: Co-founder, SparkTrade. Board Member, Teaching Place. Inventor, 20+ patents in AI, automation, audio, public safety, and broadcast technology. Author, Letters to a Young Robot (in progress).
In April 2024, I co-presented the NAB Show keynote with Ameca, one of the most advanced humanoid robots in the world. The future belongs not to AI that replaces human judgment, but to operators who combine human instinct and machine intelligence faster than their competitors can learn to.
Proud to be in Austin, TX (but still love Cleveland, OH). Off the clock, I write and produce music.
