About

I'm a data scientist, educator, and builder based in Bend, Oregon.

My consulting practice, Three Canyon Consulting, works with universities, health systems, and mission-driven organizations to help them make better decisions with the data they already have. I focus on the full pipeline — from data infrastructure to the room where a decision actually gets made.

I'm also a researcher and instructor at the University of Arizona, where I teach graduate students data visualization and data mining, and publish on reproducible research methods in health and education contexts.

Alongside all of that, I'm building Steppe — member-owned civic infrastructure for Central Oregon that puts people before engagement metrics. No ads, no algorithmic amplification; neighbors verify they're local, then govern it together, one member, one vote.

I grew up believing that data and technology should make communities stronger, not extract from them. That belief shows up in every project I take on.
