Hey, I’m Ben.

I started behind a camera with a notebook and the AP Stylebook. Nearly two decades later, I'm building AI tools for the Air Force — a plot twist that still feels like it belongs in someone else's story.

Those years of telling stories taught me one thing: the best communication starts with listening, not talking. I'm still learning that part, but it’s a journey I wouldn’t trade for the world!

I’ve always embraced emerging technology and love trying out all the latest tools. Now I get to help people figure out artificial intelligence without them feeling overwhelmed by it. In my role with the Air Force Public Affairs Agency, I manage emerging tech and ethical AI adoption for the Department of the Air Force Public Affairs through enterprise solutions for our more than 2,200 global teammates.

The biggest thing on my desk is QUILL. QUILL is an AI solutions architecture that keeps humans in the loop, targets late adopter-friendly education, and helps coach every user with every interaction.

I'm also writing a middle-grade Christian sci-fi novel, leading online and in-person life groups at church, and reading my way through so many MG/YA books with my kids.

This site is where all of that collides. I'd love to hear your story, too.
