About Timber Wolf AI

Vertigo.

For over twenty five years, my day job has been applying machine learning and AI to complex business challenges. You would think that makes the current AI boom feel like home.

Instead, for a while, it just felt like vertigo.

The technology was moving so fast. I kept assuming everyone else had figured out a secret I was missing. Then I realized the vertigo wasn’t a lack of expertise. It was biology. Humans are terrible at grasping exponential velocity. The closer you are to the epicenter, the more disorienting the speed feels.

Timber Wolf AI is where I try to make sense of it all.

Derivatives.

I’ve spent my career building these systems: as a startup co-founder, a SaaS CTO and CEO, and now as the VP of Digital Biology and Chair of the AI Program at Mayo Clinic. Note: The views I share here are strictly my own. My academic roots are in economics and math. I don’t care about the daily news cycle. I care about the derivatives: how a zero-marginal-cost intelligence actually rewires human behavior, organizational friction, and economic incentives.

Sandbox.

Timber Wolf AI is my sandbox for figuring things out in public. Because this is a space for observation rather than a content machine, the publishing cadence will be entirely irregular. I write when the data shifts, when a mental model breaks, or when a pattern demands to be shared.

I occasionally step out of the sandbox to guest lecture or speak to organizations trying to navigate this transition. If that’s something you need, you can find me on LinkedIn.
