D&D History:

I started playing D&D in fourth grade.  That was sometime around 1980ish?  I played D&D a lot between then and high school but didn’t play much in high school until I was in the Navy in 1989.  While going to school for the Navy I joined the Chicago’s Game Masters Guild.  I ran a hardcore game while in school every Saturday.  When I got out of the Navy (or rather was just in the reserves) I created an offshoot of the Guild in Seattle and ran numerous games including D&D for a number of years.  When I got married in 1996 I played a lot less.  over the course of twenty years, I played a couple of special champians in person based on created world Tark.  I ended up creating a world manual bound in leather as a champagne sourcebook.  I ran a few online games for a few months that went well but three years ago I got a job in Salt Lake and flew there every week.  I ended up running two campaigns twice a week for about two years.  A year ago I got a different job and I’m back in Seattle and want to start a new campaign but want to crank it up to a new level of awesome…

Professional bio: 

I am the quintessential technologist/technocrat, having been everything from CTO, to AGI Scientist. This includes CTO, Futurist, Solution Architect, Dev Manager, Software Engineer, Technology Strategist, UX Expert, Principal Architect and more), having acquired diverse experiences collaborating cross-functionally while partnering with co-founders and executives in technology, artificial intelligence, software engineering, UX, and across global organizations, skills, and teams. I have overseen SaaS and cloud infrastructure while maintaining world-class security, reliability, and scalability for corporate clients. Driven innovation and out of the box Research and Development. Part of my success has come from my skills in out of the box thinking and solution architecture. Additional skills in my toolbox include business process design, corporate governance, technology strategy, engineering management and global IT operations while serving as a mentor, coach, and leader to team members.

I am a former Microsoft MVP (8 years) and a published author and speaker in software engineering and an active researcher with deep expertise in Artificial General Intelligence, having published numerous scientific papers, books and videos. Some of my high lights include recent scientific research in AI cognitive architectures, patients and showcases like keynote demos for top Microsoft executives.

Upcoming Book Projects in the works: 

  • Cognitive Architectures, Theory, and Design (CRC Press), target market (demographics): Primarily Experts or aspiring experts in AI systems and in particular AI Agents; I’m writing most of the book with 4 chapters contributed by others. Eta, 2 months for the completed draft.
  • The Mentat Doctrine; In process, will finish draft end of this summer);  target market (demographics): tech sector, scientists, futurist; but accessible to the general public; Abstract: The Mentat Doctrine is a guide to self re-engineering the human mind. Let us recognize the potential and use what we have to be more then what we were. Through the insight into one’s self we can overcome the limitations of our selves.
  • Uplift; eta end of the year for a draft; target market (demographics): General Population; Abstract: Uplift is the book about the idea, process, and impact of Uplifting corporations and digital transformation.  How collective and machine intelligence can be combined with humanity in the workplace from a strategic standing point to how this affects the individual and the individual can choose to be part of a larger self.  The book Uplift is about helping you build a company or transform an existing one to something more than the sum of its parts.  An Uplifted company in a saturated market wins, it is faster, more responsive to trends, more competitive, adaptive while care more for its employee’s being more efficient and requiring less work to get there.  Uplift is about helping the next thing in a competitive market.
