Analyst, researcher, strategic advisor

I'm a former intelligence analyst, disinformation investigator, and strategic advisor — and, today, a biophysics-based researcher. My career has been defined by building capabilities where none existed and translating complex information into actionable intelligence for senior decision-makers across the military, legal, academic, and private sectors.

I most recently served as Director of Strategic Engagement for the College of Information and Cyberspace at National Defense University — the Department of Defense's premier institution for higher education in the cyberspace domain and information environment — as its primary liaison to DoD agencies, defense industry, and academia. Before that, I built an enterprise-scale user-data privacy program for a Fortune-50 platform under the largest FTC enforcement action in U.S. regulatory history; founded an OSINT practice whose multi-year investigation into disinformation targeting a U.S. ally produced attribution-grade analysis supporting international litigation; led an OSINT unit delivering protective intelligence for high-value individuals and major international events; and began my career as a Mediterranean analyst supporting Special Operations Command and instructing thousands of Marines across three combatant commands.

My move into biophysics research was driven by a personal health crisis that conventional biochemical approaches failed to resolve. Applying the same first-principles methodology from my intelligence career, I moved beyond biochemistry to the biophysics beneath it — investigating how light, circadian rhythms, and the electromagnetic environment regulate biology at the cellular level, from mitochondrial energy production to immune function and neurotransmitter synthesis.

That investigation produced both my recovery and REGENERINT, my research and advisory practice — education and advisory for high-performing professionals and complex chronic-illness cases, and counsel to institutions on the under-examined variables affecting cognitive security, human performance, and competitive advantage. The work has direct implications for any organization whose mission depends on sustained human cognition in technology-rich environments.

Across both worlds, I'm drawn to decentralized systems that stay resilient without a single point of failure — the mycelial network, the Bitcoin protocol, regenerative agriculture — different expressions of the same first-principles interest in how resilient systems actually work.

I hold an M.S. in Conflict Analysis & Resolution from George Mason University, an M.A. in Conflict Resolution & Mediterranean Security from the University of Malta, and a B.A. from Michigan Technological University, and I'm board-certified in applied quantum biology. Always open to thoughtful collaboration. Get in touch →
