Certified A.I. Consultant and corrections strategist helping technology companies and investors break into the corrections market, backed by 14 years of corrections leadership experience.
For 14 years, I served as an executive leader at Maryland's Department of Juvenile Services, helping to architect reforms that transformed one of the nation's most complex juvenile justice systems. I then brought that expertise to the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
Now, as a Certified Artificial Intelligence Consultant, I help technology companies navigate the corrections market and help investors make smarter bets on corrections technology. I combine deep operational knowledge with strategic insight to give my clients the advantage they need.
"Corrections agencies know they need technology. The real question is whether your technology knows corrections."
Four specialized services built for the unique challenges of entering and succeeding in the corrections market.
Most technology companies fail in corrections not because their product is bad, but because they don't understand how these agencies make decisions. I help you decode the procurement landscape, tailor your messaging to corrections buyers, and build a market entry strategy that gets you in the room and positions you to close.
Before you deploy your solution in a corrections facility, you need to understand the operational realities that will make or break adoption. I assess organizational readiness, identify implementation risks, and prepare both the vendor and the agency for a successful rollout.
Getting a meeting with the right person at a corrections agency is the hardest part. Drawing on 14 years of corrections leadership and an active presence at national corrections conferences, I help technology vendors identify the right agencies, prepare for those conversations, and make meaningful connections with the people who influence purchasing decisions.
Investing in corrections technology without domain expertise is a blind bet. I provide investors and funds with the operational perspective they cannot get from a pitch deck, evaluating whether a product solves a real problem, whether agencies will actually buy it, and what the competitive landscape truly looks like.
Whether you're building corrections technology or investing in it, your next move starts here.
You've built a product that could transform corrections operations. Now you need someone who speaks the language of corrections leaders and can help you open the right doors.
Before you invest in corrections technology, get the perspective that no pitch deck provides. Know whether the product solves a real problem and whether agencies will actually buy it.
The operational credibility behind every recommendation I make.
When a GPS monitoring system failed across an entire state juvenile justice agency, I led the executive response: coordinating with the Governor's office, directing the emergency equipment swap, and navigating the contract termination and rebid process. I've seen firsthand what happens when a technology deployment goes wrong.
I participated in the evaluation and statewide deployment of a custom case management system that required over 100 agency-specific modifications. I saw what made it succeed: constant vendor communication, listening to the end users, and cultivating internal champions who drove staff adoption from the ground up.
I served as the executive subject matter expert on electronic monitoring technology for a major state agency, managing the vendor relationship, fielding inquiries from law enforcement and attorneys, and ensuring 24/7 operational reliability of the system.
