I am a multi-disciplinary engineer building minimally-invasive brain computer interfaces for speech. I am endlessly drawn to questions about the physics of consciousness, neural substrates for speech and language, biology, and chemistry.

I am currently the founder of River, the thought-to-text human computer interface company. I am also a cofounder of Duo AI, Inc., a voice AI company. I created and maintain the SpeechFit app, the #1 app in the world for children who stutter and their families to achieve fluency goals. Drawing on decades of research in neuroscience, early childhood development, and linguistics, SpeechFit is used by thousands of families to reduce or eliminate stuttering in as little as 3 months.

My recreational interests include mountaineering, hiking and meditation. I am a wilderness EMT and occasionally participate in first aid operations.
