Thirty-five years of U.S. professional life, advising the American operations of Korea’s global companies as their bilingual bridge — translating Seoul’s objectives into plans that worked on U.S. ground. Four vocations that looked unrelated — until they weren’t.
DSP vocoders for the U.S. DoD. Wall Street trading turrets. Two engineering degrees — and, lately, a new certification wave: Scrum, data analytics, Power BI.
Founding CEO of Hypercom — a decade of founder-led relationships with Samsung, LG, Daewoo & POSCO’s U.S. operations, no marketing spend needed. CSO through a cross-border merger. COO today, having turned one-off coaching into I.G.N.i.T.E. Coaching’s recurring model.
Founded a congregation for millennial Nones and Dones in Manhattan — chartered in four years, baptisms in a theater on Sunday mornings.
Drew M.Div. & D.Min. (Duncan Innovation Prize). Two decades coaching pastors and executives through adaptive change, nationwide.
Since 2020, the four tracks have been converging — coaching practice, engineering hands, operator’s discipline, planter’s conviction — into a book and the platform it promised.
An adaptive leadership framework for the age of AI. The wind is not a problem to be solved — it is something to be read, and sailed. Kodak, Yellowstone wolves, study cafés, and twenty years of front-line proof.
Foreword by Len Sweet
Afterword by Paul Nixon

An adaptive leadership framework for the age of AI. The wind is not a problem to be solved — it is something to be read, and sailed. Kodak, Yellowstone wolves, study cafés, and twenty years of front-line proof. Foreword by Len Sweet, afterword by Paul Nixon.
An AI-enabled ministry operating system that connects organizational profiles, contextual assessment tools, RPM learning cycles, communication workflows, scheduling, and resource management within a unified adaptive-ministry ecosystem. Built on Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase/PostgreSQL, and LangGraph, and operationalizes the I.G.N.i.T.E. framework from Dancing in the Wind: An Adaptive Leadership and Organizational Development Framework in the Age of AI. MVP releasing August 2026.
A complementary suite of generative-AI tools — including sermon development capabilities — that reduces pastors' administrative and creative workload, creating capacity for new adaptive ministry initiatives. Built on an adaptive knowledge and memory layer (Vectorize Hindsight) using a biomimetic Retain–Recall–Reflect architecture that combines scoped organizational memory with Microsoft Azure-hosted AI extraction and reflection.
The braid doesn’t end — it opens into two currents that feed each other, flowing back and forth across the Pacific.
A new venture journey across the Korea–U.S. corridor — operating between Seoul and the U.S., building where the two markets meet. Open to partners, co-conspirators, and boards who need a bicultural polymath who ships.
Growing the adaptive leadership ecosystem: the book’s next edition, the platform’s beta cohort, and a companion playbook — proof that conviction and code can share a repository.
Essays on leading through discontinuity — for boardrooms and congregations alike. Written here first; delivered everywhere.
In 2011, Nokia's CEO told employees they were standing on a burning platform — while the company still had real market share. He wasn't announcing a new crisis. He was finally saying out loud what everyone already knew.
Citigroup didn't mandate AI adoption to 240,000 employees at once. It found 2,000 volunteers first. By Q1 2026, 80% of the workforce was using AI tools. Here's why starting small is what made starting big possible.
Warner Bros. built an AI selfie tool for Barbie in under an hour. It hit 13 million uses before the movie even opened. Here's the framework that explains why it worked — and why most corporate AI rollouts don't.
Chili's just posted its 20th straight quarter of same-store sales growth. The CEO's turnaround secret wasn't reinvention — it was doubling down on what the brand already did best.
