I'm a trial attorney in Georgia. My practice is personal injury and daycare abuse, but the cases I handle have made me functionally fluent in healthcare pricing, how medical bills are constructed, what insurers actually pay versus what providers charge, and who absorbs the cost of treatment. Healthcare pricing in America is opaque by design and I'm passionate about increasing transparency in that arena. The legal system is one of the few places where that pricing gets tested regularly. I negotiate medical liens, challenge inflated billing, investigate billing schemes and deal with the gap between what a hospital charges and what insurance reimburses. Georgia's recent tort reform is making this worse. New legislation addressed a real problem with a hammer rather than a scalpel and underserved communities with limited access to healthcare are paying the price. I built First Counsel, a plain-language legal education resource explaining how medical billing, insurance, and the legal process actually interact. It also helps parents check whether a daycare is safe using publicly available inspection data. I wanted to provide an outlet for information that's usually buried in legalese, behind a consultation wall, or full of sales funnels. I'm available to comment on healthcare pricing and transparency, medical billing practices, rising insurance and healthcare costs, advice to consumers on how to reduce medical costs, liens and subrogation, Georgia tort reform, and civil litigation.

I’m an entrepreneur working at the intersection of AI, product execution, and healthcare access. Over the last decade I’ve built and led teams that turn new technology into practical tools for real businesses. I co-founded BotsCrew in 2016, grew it into a global AI services company, and later joined the CourtAvenue collective, where we help large enterprises adopt generative AI with speed and precision. I also founded AllClinicalTrials.com and Curify, two platforms focused on making it easier for patients to find and enroll in legitimate clinical trials. That work started from a personal experience trying to find treatment options for a family member, and it pushed me toward building products that remove friction from complex systems. My background is in applied mathematics and AI, but most of my learning came from building things fast, talking to customers, and fixing what didn’t work. I’m especially interested in how generative AI will reshape operations, customer experience, and decision-making in large organizations. I try to share what I learn - both the wins and the mistakes - so others can move faster.
