The Short Version

I Teach Mortgage Professionals How to Use AI Without Losing Their Soul

I've spent the last 8 years helping loan officers escape the referral hamster wheel. I built Direct Authority AI, a community of 175+ mortgage pros using AI to create content that actually sounds like them - not generic AI slop.

I speak at industry events like MortgageCon, AIME Fuse, and the IMN Mortgage AI Conference about something I call "the human moat" - the idea that in a world where everyone has access to the same AI tools, your voice is your only competitive advantage.

I also built Duplico, a voice-first AI platform with 50+ tools that capture how you actually talk and turn it into content you're proud to post.

When I'm not on stage or building software, I'm in San Diego with my wife and four kids.

Beyond the Stage

The Human Behind the AI

I'm a husband and father of four living in San Diego. I believe the best work comes from people who have something worth working for outside of work.

My philosophy, "your humanness is your moat," isn't just about AI strategy. It's about building a business that supports your life, not consumes it.

That's what I help loan officers do. Build businesses that give them freedom, not just income.
