I've been obsessed with computers since before they were cool.

Some people worried I'd never do anything else. They were absolutely right. Over 27 years I built and ran PalmTech Computer Solutions, wrote 400+ software packages, and developed apps for the FBI, CIA, United Nations, MTV, and Cosmopolitan Magazine. Yes, really. All of those.

I earned my CISSP, co-authored an Amazon #1 best-seller on cybersecurity called "Under Attack," served as CISO for a $200M employee-owned company, and eventually sold my MSP and "retired."

Retirement lasted about a week. Now I run White Rabbit Advisory Group, helping businesses figure out AI before AI figures them out. And I spend an embarrassing amount of time making AI do things it probably wasn't designed for.

Fun fact: "Under Attack" hit #1 in three Amazon categories on launch day. I'm still waiting on the movie deal. Spielberg, if you're reading this, call me.

This site is where I share all the weird, wonderful, and genuinely useful things I discover while playing with AI every single day. No corporate speak. No jargon walls. Just a guy with decades of tech experience telling you what actually works.
