I'm a Nashville-based finance professional, researcher, and the founder of the Logos Initiative. My work explores what happens when the most consequential technology in human history meets the deepest questions humans have ever asked.
I've spent my career in distressed investing, event-driven research, and investment banking. I started at Salomon Smith Barney in New York, moved into private equity at Heartland Industrial Partners, and spent six years as a Senior Analyst and Limited Partner at Owl Creek Asset Management, a distressed debt and event-driven hedge fund. I currently serve as head of research for a single-idea fund focused on the recapitalization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a special situation that I have followed for more than a decade.
The through-line of that work is evaluating evidence under uncertainty — stress-testing assumptions, modeling risk, and following the analysis wherever it leads. In my late thirties, when my wife and I were expecting our first child, I turned that same discipline toward the historical and philosophical case for Christianity. I read the skeptics alongside the apologists. I followed the arguments where they led. In my forties, I was baptized.
That journey left me with two convictions. First, that Christianity's strongest intellectual case is far more rigorous than most people — including most Christians — realize. Second, that this case is almost entirely absent from the systems that are rapidly becoming the world's default source of knowledge. I'm now building at the intersection of Christian theology and AI — an academic paper on the structural case for theological constraint in AI alignment, and a nonprofit working to get the best Christian intellectual content into AI training data — because I believe the next decade will determine whether artificial intelligence encounters Christianity at its best or at its worst.
The External Authority Problem in AI Alignment and the Case for Theological Constraint. An argument that secular alignment frameworks contain a structural vulnerability — and that Christian theism may address it.
Coming soonSecuring AI training licenses for high-quality Christian apologetics and theological content — ensuring the strongest Christian intellectual arguments are represented in the systems shaping how the world thinks.
