I speak at the intersection of live performance, emerging technology, and what it means to be human in a world increasingly shaped by AI.
Becoming more human is the competitive advantage.
We are living through a period of radical AI-driven change. Most of the response to that change has focused on what AI can do. I'm interested in what it can't — and what that means for how we communicate, lead, create, and connect.
My talks are built from 30 years of professional practice at the intersection of performance, psychology, and technology. Not consulting frameworks. Not case studies borrowed from someone else's industry. Not the result of an LLM scraping the internet. Human experience across time.
Signature Talk:
RAID: Three Use Cases for Live Human Performance in an AI Era Presenting at AWE USA 2026
RAID: Real-Time Animated Interactive Drama, places professional actors inside real-time game engines with live audiences who shape the story as it unfolds. Part research presentation, part proof of concept, part argument for why live, embodied storytelling matters more now than ever.
This talk makes the case across three domains: entertainment, enterprise communication, and education. It's designed for XR, games, and innovation conference audiences, with ongoing demonstrations across the year pushing the technology and building the partnerships that will bring it to scale.
