I was born and raised in Bishop, Texas—farm country. Cheered on by Badger fans, I found glory under those Friday night lights. On Saturdays you would find me sitting on a tailgate in a field with friends. And of course, church on Sunday morning.
I did a brief stint at Texas A&M. I didn't leave with a degree, but I will forever retain the motto: Aggies don't lie, cheat, or steal—or tolerate those who do.
I had the great pleasure of serving among some of the finest Americans in the United States Army. Service and sacrifice are the defining characteristics of these patriots.
The men and women working on Oil and Gas drilling rigs across the country demonstrated work ethic beyond measure. Working 100 consecutive 12 hour days on a drilling rig will leave one with a replenished bank account and an empowered soul.
Leaving a lucrative career to chase the startup dragon is an adventure not to be taken lightly. I am proud to say that while the company may be defunct, some of the technological breakthroughs and novel algorithms are still in use in the field today and adding value to the pioneering engineers who use them.
The nature of opportunity is a peculiar thing. A closed door in Oil and Gas led to an open door building communication technology serving businesses across the United States. Client Connect offers text message integrations for businesses to easily communicate with their customers. In 2020 Client Connect was acquired by Banjaxed to offer communication solutions to the Salesforce community.
The exciting thing about the Butterfly Project is the dichotomy between the complexity of the problem and the elegance of the solution. The Butterfly Project provides a fluid user experience for transforming business data as an enterprise adopts new database technology.

True to my heart and desire for the world—EPIST is a platform for understanding beliefs. We all desire to make sense of the world around us. EPIST provides a structure to formulate our own beliefs and the data to understand the marketplace of ideas around us.
