Washington Examiner op-ed published November 12, 2025. “Increasing oil and natural gas production is absolutely the right place to start, but Trump needs to think far more expansively.

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.
