Why These Books

Not written from research.
Written from experience.

Most books on ADHD were written by clinicians. Most books on AI governance were written by consultants. These were written by someone who lived both — a 63-year-old Air Force veteran diagnosed with ADHD at 62, who spent 30 years integrating technology through dozens of acquisitions.

The Books

Three published.
More on the way.

04

Sunday Drive

A long-term project. A story of tragedy to triumph. From a little boy watching houses through a car window to living in one. For Mom. We made it.

"Built from scars, not a syllabus.
Every word earned."
