ABOUT
Technology has made human flourishing possible. Policy decides what comes next.
I lead federal government affairs at the Abundance Institute, a think tank creating the legal and cultural space for emerging technologies to develop and thrive. My work covers AI policy, energy and compute infrastructure, and children’s online safety.
I also write about theology, culture, and why Christians have every reason to face the technological future with hope rather than fear.
