Marine Corps veteran (23 years). Doctorate in Organizational Change and Leadership from USC Rossier. Instructor at UC Irvine's Division of Continuing Education. Independent researcher and advisor on institutional accountability under language pressure. Publisher of What Time Binds.
I research and advise on what happens when the words move faster than the coordination. Twenty-three years in the Marine Corps taught me that a team fails when it stops sharing a picture of the mission, not when it stops working hard. Nine years since — corporate facilities and business continuity, then doctoral work, then this practice — have taught me that the picture goes first at the level of language.
I write What Time Binds, the media arm. I run the advisory practice, the second arm, for institutions carrying decisions under language pressure. I teach at UC Irvine's Division of Continuing Education, where students bring their own organizations into the classroom. The three spaces share a through-line and share a set of readers.
