Who I Am
Don't worry about predicting the future. Don't worry about what you don't know. Instead, get up each and every morning and fundamentally challenge what you believe to be true.

Family is the foundation of everything I do. I am a son to two incredible parents who shaped my values, a brother to my younger sister Kacey, whose resilience and passion inspire me daily, and an uncle to Malcolm, Kacey's son, who brings so much joy into our lives.
I am also a husband to my amazing wife, Laurie Bradley, my steadfast partner in life, love, and ambition. Most importantly, I am a father to my two greatest accomplishments—my daughter RaNelle and my son Joseph. They are my motivation, my inspiration, and my daily reminder of why building a better future matters.

You to the Power of Two
The age of AI isn't just changing how we work. It's changing who we can become. In You to the Power of Two, co-authored with bestselling author and technology visionary Don Tapscott, we introduce the concept of Identic AI and explore how AI will redefine leadership, enterprise value, and human potential.
Together, we argue that the greatest opportunity isn't building smarter machines, but creating more capable people. If you want to understand where AI is taking us and how to lead through that transformation, this book is where I would start.
