Ideas to put
into practice.
Conversations on leadership, execution, and entrepreneurship, drawn from the Army, operations, and the classroom.
What we can explore
Leading when it matters
Responsibility, trust, and decisions under pressure. Lessons from military service and leading teams.
Turning plans into results
How people, processes, and systems help teams follow through, and what gets in the way.
Testing what you believe
Customer interviews, assumptions, and small experiments that help turn an idea into a business.
From the field to the classroom.
I’m an Army veteran, operations leader, writer, and Assistant Professor of Instruction at UT Austin’s McCombs School of Business. My work has taken me from two deployments to Iraq to software operations, Apple Pay, and teaching entrepreneurship.
