Theology and Governance done with discipline

I work in AI governance and compliance, and I also write on theology and culture. These are different fields, but they both rely on the same habits, clear thinking, close reading, and disciplined analysis. I built this site because I wanted one place to organize what I do instead of splitting it across separate profiles.Nothing here is meant to signal conflict between the two areas. My professional work stands on industry standards and organizational requirements. My theological work stands on its own reasoning and commitments. They stay distinct where they should, and neither undermines the other.This is simply a central hub. If you know me from the governance side, you can see how I think outside that domain. If you know me through my writing, you can see the structure behind the rest of my work.

The mix of degrees reflects the paths I’ve worked in; language, analysis, and theology. It gives me the range I need for both my writing and my professional work.Master of Arts in Apologetics, Liberty University, in progressBachelor of Arts in Italian, Lake Erie College, 2017Associate of Applied Science in Intelligence Studies and Technology, Community College of the Air Force, 2014

I focus on clear, contextual work aimed at rebuilding basic biblical understanding. Most nominal Christians were never taught the fundamentals, and my writing addresses that gap without noise or abstraction.

Artificial Intelligence

My consulting work centers on cybersecurity, governance, and AI risk. I build practical GRC structures, tighten controls, and bring emerging AI systems under accountable oversight. Most of my work is framework design, risk evaluation, and translating standards into procedures that organizations can actually use. The aim is simple, reduce uncertainty, raise discipline, and give companies a clear, defensible way to manage both traditional security risks and the new pressures created by AI adoption.
