I don’t teach resilience.
I live it.
I’m not a framework guy.
I’m not a coach.
I’m not a former CISO rebranding his past.
I’m a system builder—
because the systems I inherited didn’t work.
I was never meant to fit in this industry.
I started building systems in the early ’90s on a NeXTcube—
before most people had email.
By 2005, I was building semantic platforms, identity frameworks, and telecom-grade content infrastructure
before “digital transformation” was a term.
But no matter how deep I went—
into enterprise architecture, security, governance, or AI—
the pattern never changed:
Everyone was solving the wrong problem.
Patching symptoms. Managing theater.
Pretending control was the same as coherence.
And eventually, I collapsed too.
The systems broke me—and then revealed me.
I didn’t pivot.
I didn’t rebrand.
I rebuilt everything from the ground up,
using the very collapse I went through as the raw material.
What emerged was something I didn’t expect:
-
A new architecture of trust.
-
A map of collapse-to-traction that applies to people, teams, or entire enterprises.
-
A structural definition of governance that works at any scale—without falling apart under pressure.
The frameworks came after.
The lived experience came first.
I build what I needed but couldn’t find.
Everything I teach now—C2T, SVDS, ROTAR, ATGM—it’s not theory.
It’s what I used to survive:
-
The loss of career clarity
-
The friction of corporate dysfunction
-
The disorientation of being commoditized by AI
-
The pain of watching brilliant people burn out in broken systems
And it’s what I use every day to help others recover their own leverage—
before it’s too late.
If you’re looking for status, polish, or posturing—I’m not your guy.
I’ve lived too much.
I’ve seen too much.
And I don’t have time to waste mine—or yours—on things that don’t hold.
What I offer now is simple:
-
A way to make sense of collapse.
-
A way to rebuild from it.
-
And a system that will still be standing when the next one hits.
Follow the work. Or follow me.
If you’re a security leader, a strategic executive, a founder, or a specialist trying to keep your edge in a shifting world—
I built this for you.
Start wherever you feel the crack.
And if you want to talk?
You’ll know when you’re ready.
I’m not hard to find.
And if you’re not sure,
LinkedIn is a good place to start.
