I'm an AI Strategy and Enterprise Architecture leader in Arizona, where I focus on bridging business strategy with technology across cloud platforms, governance, FinOps, Python, and open source systems. I solve problems by being insatiably curious.
I am a strategic technical leader focused on AI strategy, enterprise architecture, and cloud platforms, helping organizations adopt, govern, and realize value from AI and modern technology. I am a hands-on architect who enjoys coding and believes the best solutions come from understanding both the technology and the people behind it. I have leadership experience transforming architecture teams, defining standards, building AI governance programs, designing scalable cloud and data platforms. I’ve worked across big data systems ranging from IoT to adaptive learning and modeling student knowledge. My love of learning has lead to research projects, publish whitepapers, patent work, and a frequent speaker at conferences. I enjoy sharing what I learn from wilderness survival skills to web development in a boot camp.
When I'm not programming or reading something new, you can find me on the slopes following my true passion for skiing.

Brig is Senior Manager of AI Strategy and Enterprise Architecture at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona. He connects business strategy to practical technology decisions through hands-on technical leadership. His love of learning has led to research projects, published whitepapers, patent applications, and being a teacher. He developed an unhealthy interest in FinOps and now spreads his theories of cost optimization to anyone he encounters. His wife and three children love to spend time together adventuring outdoors or on brain teasers around the dinner table.
I believe the best solutions come from understanding the people at the heart of innovation. My expertise is discovering and explaining novel solutions with my rare perspective.
