Most people see behavior as a reaction. I see it as a blueprint.

I hold a Doctorate of Psychology, and I bridge the science of behavior with the art of leadership. My work helps leaders move beyond authority and control to develop Behavioral Insight Intelligence™ (BII): the ability to read behavioral signals accurately, respond deliberately, and influence outcomes intentionally.

My expertise wasn’t built through academic study alone. It was forged in environments where the cost of a misread signal was absolute.

For more than 20 years, I have applied the science of behavior across worlds that rarely meet:

The Deep: Training 10,000-pound killer whales, where influence is built solely on trust, timing, and reinforcement—never coercion.

The Field: As an active, sworn Peace Officer, navigating the complex behavioral loops of criminal justice and probation, where de-escalation is a life-safety skill.

The Boardroom: As the Director of Animal Operations, guiding teams through disruption that destabilizes performance, identity, and trust.

Whether I am working with an apex predator, an individual in an interview room, or an executive navigating complexity, the challenge is the same—to look past surface noise, identify the activated variables, and Reset Your PACE™.

My work is grounded in evidence-based behavioral science and includes a peer-reviewed publication in OMEGA. I am committed to advancing the scientific understanding of human behavior and meaning-making while translating theory into practical application for leaders operating under real pressure.

Today I work with leaders in corporations, law enforcement, justice and corrections, and education — environments where misreading the room isn't an option. I teach the perceptual discipline required to read behavior accurately, respond deliberately, and influence toward a desirable outcome with precision.
