About Me.

I’ve always been drawn to the layer most people overlook: the relational layer: where communication shapes performance, and where systems either come alive or fall apart.

​

Across every leadership role I’ve held, spanning operations, culture-building, and organizational design, the pattern was always the same: structure alone doesn’t scale anything.

 

People do.

 

And people only move at the speed of conversation, trust, and alignment.

 

That insight became the backbone of all my work.

 

 

MATR: Making Communication a Performance System

​

I co-founded MATR to solve the problem I’ve seen cripple organizations for years: teams don’t break at execution, they break at communication.

 

MATR turns conversation into measurable intelligence. It reveals the trust gaps, misalignments, and relational friction that quietly cost companies speed, talent, and momentum. We call this work Relational Diligence, the discipline of measuring the human dynamics that determine whether teams win or stall.

 

In a world racing toward AI, MATR ensures humans stay connected enough to actually operate. It’s the bridge between people and performance that modern organizations are missing.

 

 

Last 1: Communication at Ecosystem Scale

 

My work with veterans exists for the same reason: systems fail when the relationships inside them break down.

 

I created the Last 1 Ecosystem to rebuild the connective tissue across the entire veteran landscape:

 

• LastVet: A data-sovereign platform using AI to match veterans with care, benefits, and opportunities through real-time accountability.

• The Veterans Coalition: A national alliance unifying service organizations through shared standards and communication.

• Last 1 Nonprofit: Stewarding ecosystem design, convening, and movement-building.

• Last 1 Capital: A regenerative investment engine aligning capital with measurable human outcomes.

​

All of this work reflects the same principle behind MATR: people and systems thrive when communication becomes infrastructure, not an afterthought.

 

 

Why I Build What I Build

 

As a veteran, I’ve seen how isolation forms when no one knows how to check in. 

As an operator, I’ve watched companies lose momentum because no one names the truth in the room. 

As a systems architect, I know connection doesn’t scale by accident, it scales by design.

 

My work exists at the intersection of:

 

• relational intelligence

• system architecture

• AI-enabled infrastructure

• human performance

• post-GDP economic thinking

 

My goal is simple: build systems where people don’t get lost, teams don’t break in silence, and organizations don’t collapse from avoidable misalignment.

 

Veterans aren’t a charity class, they’re a leadership class.

And when we design infrastructure that supports them, we model systems that elevate everyone.

 

​

What I actually do

 

I breathe structure into chaos.

I build clarity where others see noise.

I turn relationships into infrastructure.

And I design systems that make people and movements more powerful than the sum of their parts.

 

This is my life’s work: uniting communication, connection, and systems into frameworks that help people, teams, and entire sectors come alive.
