I build infrastructure that puts people in control of their own data. As CEO of Lonix Inc., I lead the development of a user-owned data ecosystem that restores trust, transparency, and shared value to the digital economy.
My path here started with 22 years of service in the United States Air Force, where I learned that the best systems are built on discipline, accountability, and a relentless focus on mission.
My career began on the flight line at Barksdale Air Force Base, where I maintained the systems that kept aircraft mission-ready. Over 22 years, I rose from Airman Basic to Major — earning a commission as a Distinguished Graduate through Air Force ROTC at Louisiana State University, where I also earned my Bachelor of Science in Finance.
Along the way, I managed multi-million-dollar acquisition programs, led maintenance operations for combat-coded aircraft, and advised Air Force Materiel Command's senior leadership on the career management of over 500 colonels, general officers, and senior executives.
I retired in 2024 with a Meritorious Service Medal and a clear mission: to build technology that serves people, not the other way around.
