“The Real-Life Jack Ryan”
Three-time tech founder with $33M+ in capital deployed across tier-one VC-backed ventures. Former CIA Officer. U.S. Air Force Pararescueman with 30 combat deployments across 11 years of service. Harvard-educated. Builder of intelligence-grade technology platforms that convert data into decisive action against the world’s most complex criminal networks.
My Why
The moment that changed everything — from operator to founder, from service to mission.
Key Credentials
Mission
Building Intelligence-Grade Companies
Founded DeliverFund (2014) and Ten Point Data. $33M+ in total capital deployed. Tier-one VC-backed. Each venture applies intelligence methodology to markets where data asymmetry creates structural advantage.
Intelligence & Special Operations
CIA Officer. U.S. Air Force Pararescueman across 11 years of active service, including 30 combat deployments. The operational discipline and analytical frameworks from the intelligence community form the foundation of every venture.
Harvard Extension School
Bachelor of Liberal Arts, Harvard Extension School. The interdisciplinary framework — spanning strategic analysis, economics, and behavioral science — enables the translation of complex intelligence into scalable enterprise solutions.
Faith, Family, Montana
Rooted in Christian faith and family. Based in Montana. Coach and mentor. The conviction that the most consequential work requires the whole person — operator, founder, father, and servant leader — operating with undivided purpose.
Three Dimensions of One Mission
The Founder
DeliverFund established the intelligence-driven counter-trafficking model in 2014 — applying classified methodology to an unserved market. Ten Point Data represents the current thesis: agentic AI for high-trust environments where the cost of error is measured in human lives.
Each company was built on the same conviction: the most valuable data companies solve problems that others cannot see, in markets that others will not enter.
The Operative
CIA Officer. Before the private sector, the mission was the same — applied intelligence in high-stakes environments where the margin for error is zero. The intelligence community taught a specific discipline: identify the pattern, validate the signal, act with precision.
U.S. Air Force Pararescueman. Eleven years of service. Thirty combat deployments. The Pararescue ethos — “That Others May Live” — is not a motto on a wall. It is the operating system behind every company, every investment thesis, and every strategic decision.
The Fighter
The counter-trafficking mission is not philanthropy. It is an intelligence operation against a criminal market generating $150B+ in annual illicit revenue. Operation Soccer Balls demonstrated that covert logistics and intelligence tradecraft could intercept trafficking networks at scale — a proof of concept that became the foundation for DeliverFund.
Testified before the U.S. Congressional Helsinki Commission. Authored the 10 Points of Disruption framework — a compound probability model that achieves 89.3% network disruption when applied across identified trafficking structures. The thesis is simple: exploitation is a solvable problem when you apply the right methodology.
