CPA · ANALYTICS ARCHITECT · SYSTEMS BUILDER
I turn manual, ambiguous work into governed analytical systems—structured, reconciled, automated, and designed to hold up under scrutiny.
The domain changes.
The method doesn’t.
Most analysts deliver answers. I build the operating system that keeps producing defensible answers after the meeting ends.
THE METHOD
The visible dashboard is the last step. The real work is defining grain, preserving provenance, reconciling the source, and making failure observable.
Find the real workflow, including the exceptions people stopped mentioning.
Give the work a durable grain, dimensions, relationships, and ownership.
Build controls that expose missing, conflicting, or drifting evidence.
Remove repetition without removing judgment or the audit trail.
Make the system resumable, explainable, and safe for the next operator.
SELECTED SYSTEMS
These are Dropdown Logistics systems: different domains, one insistence on durable identity, honest state, explicit uncertainty, and recoverable evidence.
Professional systems · governance
A governed operating system for audit work—from controls and findings through document generation, team capacity, and billing.
The auditor issues the opinion. The system produces the evidence package that supports it.
Knowledge craft · education
A governed, traversable graph of Excel concepts, patterns, anti-patterns, learning paths, and institutional standards.
Excel knowledge stopped living only in people's heads and became an inspectable system.
Behavioral analytics · personal evidence
Four products that turn betting, trading, riding, and attendance into durable records that reveal behavior over time.
Memory became measurable behavior without pretending that a dashboard is the underlying record.
Institutional memory · local intelligence
A public architecture ledger paired with private local retrieval across the full governed archive.
Institutional memory stopped depending on whichever session happened to remember it.
DROPDOWN LOGISTICS
Dropdown Logistics is the independent studio where I test the method against real domains: audit, finance, healthcare, trading, knowledge systems, operations, and AI-assisted governance.

CAREER ARC
The through-line is not a job title. It is the habit of walking into a process, finding where truth becomes fragile, and leaving behind a stronger system.
UMB Bank · Corporate Commissions
Incentive compensation analytics, plan validation, automation, implementation support, and process redesign across a complex operating portfolio.
UMB Bank · Internal Audit
Governance-grade analytics, SOX testing, coverage systems, and repeatable workpapers built for reviewer reliance.
Noble Health · CBIZ Stinnett · BOK Financial
Financial infrastructure, risk assessment, audit methodology, control documentation, and analytics across healthcare and banking.
ONEOK · DAK Consulting · Dropdown Logistics
A career-long progression from reconciliations and controls to reusable analytical architecture and governed automation.
