I run a company-wide AI program at Matthews. Before that, AI research at a gene-editing company.

I run the AI portfolio at Matthews, and about 150 coworkers come to me for AI help. I build some tools myself. More often I’m working next to a team and teaching them to build and run their own.

At Bowdoin I double-majored in Digital Computational Studies and Sociology: how the technology works, and how people take to it.

Where I started

Before tech, I was on set

My first professional role was at eight, as young Tommy in The Who’s Tommy at San Diego’s Lyceum Theatre. Over 13 years I worked in theater, commercials, film and TV, including three Nickelodeon shows.

Sets taught me to keep a schedule and take direction. The best ideas usually came from conversations with the cast and crew between takes, and I still work that way.

Off the clock

Four years as a college athlete

I pole vaulted for Bowdoin’s varsity track and field team all four years.

In pole vault you miss far more bars than you clear, so you get used to figuring out what went wrong and going again.
