AI Adoption • Strategic Communications • Storyteller Marketing

Hey, I'm Ben.

I help people make sense of AI.

Joining the U.S. Air Force in 2007 was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I came up through military journalism, public affairs, photography, video, and social media. Now I use that background to help teams adopt AI with better judgment, clearer communication, and a little less panic.

In my current role with the Air Force Public Affairs Agency, I manage emerging technology and ethical AI adoption for the U.S. Air Force public affairs enterprise of more than 2,200 teammates around the world.

On the horizon, I’m building out my dreams through StratCreative, LLC. This is where my passion lies. It’s what’s next. I’m creating tools for the road ahead in AI adoption, strategic communication, publishing, multimedia, and faith-shaped care for the people doing the work.

I’m also pouring my soul, faith, and experiences and love for my children into a middle-grade Christian sci-fi novel while leading online and in-person small groups at church.

This site is where all of that collides. I’d love to hear your story too. Sharing stories is where my career began.
