Working through the hardest problems in politics, technology, and global risk, with philosophical breadth and technical granularity.
Philosopher, consultant, and public speaker. Systematic, grounded ethical guidance for campaigns, organizations, and individuals navigating AI, global catastrophic risk, and the hardest questions in public life.
I am a philosopher of technology and ethics with a decade of experience bringing systematic, grounded philosophical thinking to bear on the hardest problems in politics, technology, and public life. My training spans analytical philosophy, philosophical consultinging, and the tradition of sustained one-on-one ethical guidance: what philosophers since Socrates have called care of the soul: serious, structured attention to what it means to live and act well under conditions of genuine uncertainty and consequence.
I have advised campaigns for state governors, United States Senate seats, and state legislative races on policy and messaging; developed ethics training deployed to C-level executives at Fortune 500 companies through Knowledge City; and lectured at Yale, Vassar, Virginia Tech, and institutions across the United States and Europe.
My current work focuses on the governance, policy, and philosophical dimensions of artificial intelligence and global catastrophic risk, and on the people carrying the existential, psychological, and philosophical burdens that arise from working at this frontier. That weight is real, and it deserves more than a compliance framework or a wellness program. I bring to it the same systematic rigor I apply to everything else, alongside a genuine capacity for the kind of structured, personal philosophical guidance that helps people think and live well in the face of what they are actually facing.

Scholarship and public writing spanning AI safety, technology ethics, political philosophy, and the epistemology of contested empirical questions.
I work with campaigns, companies, and individuals who are ready to engage these questions seriously, and who want a partner who will tell them the truth.
Politics
Politics has lost its moral center. Not because voters have, but because the people communicating with voters have forgotten how to speak to it. The cynicism, the tribal signaling, the endless search for wedge issues: none of it is inevitable. It is a choice, and a bad one. I help campaigns find the better way: developing the messaging, values framing, and political philosophy that let candidates speak honestly, lead on the hard issues, and win.
Technology & AI
The same is true for organizations navigating the ethics of technology. The hard questions about AI, accountability, and institutional trust cannot be outsourced to legal teams or PR strategy. They require genuine philosophical work, and they require it now, before the decisions are already made. I provide that work: governance frameworks, ethics training, and rigorous thinking partnership that helps organizations get ahead of the hardest problems rather than react to them.
"The hardest problems don't announce themselves as philosophical. They arrive as business decisions, policy choices, or moments of personal crisis. I help people see them clearly, and act accordingly."
