WHELP, WIN SOME/LOSE SOME. KEEPING THE SITE UP FOR A HOT MIN.
My day job (for 20 years) is weird: Top disinfo/fix AI nerd
I’ve lived in Richfield for 3 years with my GF and our dog.
Before that, I lived up in North Minneapolis. Been in the Cities for 15 years. Grew up in Nebraska.
My Summer 2020 was very spicy and explains who I am and what I know how to do.
I was working as a “disinformation diversity hire” at the Evangelical college downtown (that hosted the Floyd Memorial). Buckle up.
W/ students, I dealt with guns, militias, and chaos:
But here's what we did to help keep our city safe, sane, and fed.

with an ex-Assistant Attorney General (from across the aisle)
and a pile of kids hiding it as homework. We got close.
but the universe has a sense of humor
on halloween 2021, some jerk tried to shoot me in my home
So, for the 2nd time, my teams got sacked on the "fix AI and disinfo" ten yard line.
(We were also "first" way back in 2005
w/ a Fortune 500 and Big 10).
so now i'm here in richfield. and i love our city
so I’d like our world to get back to normal
so i could just, like, grill and play guitar and stuff.
P.S. Hilariously, someone stole my car off our driveway in 2024.
what the resume says
For 20 years, I’ve been leading bipartisan and interdisciplinary teams: Top experts and 100s of
students, lawyers, policymakers, teachers, and artists – on a single project:
- 1 simple, neutral method to align AI, disnfo, free speech, and privacy
- The multi-industry platforms and networks (law, governance, K-grad school ed, civics, the arts, news, and pr) required to scale solutons.
- Sometimes as “homework.” Which we think is funny.
My last team went through hell to get the receipts; we have them.
If the person you have fixing AI, disinformation, free speech, privacy, college, or your political strategies
doesn’t know how to do all of that stuff (already), you are not going to win the 21st century (period).
To pull this off, I had to become
a recognized leader in a lot of industries,
and learn to fix (in volatile IRL conditions) a lot of complicated things.
an award-winning expert in a lot of fields,

and I think you and I working together
have an honest shot at getting our city a post-AI world Super Bowl ring.
