The HERD Discipline
I’ve spent nearly 40 years building companies across smart home, IoT, AI, and AgeTech.
What I’ve learned is this:
Success doesn’t come from chasing ideas.
It comes from clarity — and ruthless focus.
The HERD Discipline is how I help founders and teams cut through distractions, get clear on what matters, and stay focused long enough to build something real.
H — Human Problem
Every real business starts here.
What problem are you solving?
And who are you solving it for?
The clearer this is, the easier everything else becomes — focus, building, and execution.
E — Economic Path
Caring isn’t enough —
Who pays? Someone has to pay.
What value are they paying for?
And what’s the fastest path to cash?
If the economics don’t work, nothing else matters, you have a nonprofit.
R — Repeatability
Growth comes from doing one thing well, over and over.
One customer.
One channel.
One offer.
Until it works every time, scale only makes the mess bigger.
D — Discipline
This is the hardest part.
Ignoring shiny ideas.
Saying NO more than yes.
Making decisions based on data —
not noise or ego.
Sometimes you have to slow down to go fast. Sometimes you pull back to move forward.
This discipline was shaped by real outcomes — including failures.
The lessons learned from what didn’t work are just as important as the wins that followed.HERD is not theory. It’s a practical, step-by-step way of thinking that helps teams move from confusion to clarity — and from effort to momentum.
Fundamentals → Focus → Forward

The Work That Matters Now
The need isn’t coming. It’s here.
Our aging loved ones need solutions that work now, not someday.
The technology mostly exists — what’s missing is clarity, focus, and alignment.
I’m spending time with founders and operators across AgeTech and connected systems to see what’s actually working — and where fragmentation is slowing everything down.
My focus is on:
-
Teams with real traction
-
Getting fundamentals right before scale
-
Aligning operators, capital, and incentives around outcomes that last
This work is intentional, collaborative, and selective.
The goal is clarity, focus, and speed to market.
If we’ve crossed paths before, the conversation is always open.
Work Recognized Across Industry and Media
My work has been used in high-stakes environments — across technology, public service, and operator-led companies.
Along the way, it’s been recognized by leading U.S. and international media and trusted by major institutions and platforms.
