I study science and technology trends and futures, and their impact on national and international security, economics, societal trends, governance, and public policy. I also help startup companies with funding and commercialization.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss a paper, project, or issue.
I work on consulting projects as a contractor related to national security issues, science and technology trends and futures, entrepreneurship and business development, and government policy and relations.
