About
An explorer working on the institutions that let human progress compound.
I'm an explorer by temperament and curious to a fault. I work at the intersection of public-policy economics and institutional design — and I build the software and AI tooling that turns those ideas into something you can touch.
I was the first full-time employee at Próspera, where I now serve as chief of staff and director of public affairs. The mandate is easy to state and hard to do: design the institutions that let progress compound, and turn governance experiments into models other places can actually adopt.
I'm a strange mix — deep Mississippi southern roots and a cosmopolitan, world-traveling streak. That tension shows up in everything: how I think, what I read, and the way I build.
I'm a Christian and a husband. My aim is simple to name: find the biggest lever I can pull for the largest positive impact on the world, and wring the most meaning, purpose, and fulfillment from every precious second the Lord has given me.
Make the most meaning you can from every second of existence — then go find a bigger lever.
