I am a Construction Management student at Eastern Kentucky University focused on execution, efficiency, and building things that perform. Construction 4.0 and AI drive my curiosity, but I look to nature for instruction. Biophilic thinking, permaculture principles, and living systems influence how I see our environment. As a member of the Bluegrass Mycological Society, I study ecological intelligence as a model for smarter development.

I plan to pursue a Master’s in Real Estate Development to move from building projects to shaping the backdrop of our lives. Architecture influences behavior, psychology, and our long term health. I am interested in development that moves beyond utility toward environments that elevate and encourage transcendence and community.

Here, The Ataraxia Funkiverse, is where I explore living order, discipline, abundance, and responsibility in an age of accelerating power. A favorite quote of mine:

The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.”- Edward O. Wilson

We also operate without god like wisdom.

The question is whether we build with maturity equal to our tools and lean into the wisdom needed for abundance for all.
