I am a biomedical innovation researcher, systems engineer, and social entrepreneur. I research clinician-led innovation creation, innovation diffusion, and population health informatics at Johns Hopkins and the University of London. I have also led a boutique consulting firm called Adloris since 2005, which provides technology services to federal government agencies, including NASA, NIST, and the Departments of Commerce, Defense, the Interior, and Veterans Affairs.

I am passionate about service. I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2000 – 2004 and then lobbied for critical veterans' causes, including "Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery" in Colorado and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal at the White House and the United States Capitol. I launched Adloris Foundation 501(c)(3), a nonprofit deploying community-based applied mindfulness initiatives through its Wakeful Warriors program and sustainable agriculture initiatives through its Busted Bounty program.

I have completed a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from New York Law School, Master of Science (M.S.) in Health Sciences Informatics from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Mindfulness Neuroscience from King's College London, Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) in Organizational Communications from the University of Denver, Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in General Studies from Columbia College, and Associate of Applied Sciences (A.A.S.) in Scientific Analysis Technology from the Community College of the Air Force.
