Professional History

The Journey

The throughline

I've spent over two decades building and operating infrastructure—first in the U.S. Army, then across civilian organizations, then for small businesses, and eventually through entrepreneurship. The work has always been the same at its core: make systems reliable, secure, scalable, and usable for real people.

Today, that path converges into one mission: I'm currently building GRIDNET — Ai as a Utility under Super eComm Inc.

2003–2010

U.S. Army Signal Corps

Infrastructure under pressure

I served as a Signal Support Systems Specialist (25U), providing secure communications and IT support in active field environments. I also trained and supervised soldiers in signal operations—where reliability isn't a preference, it's survival.

What it shaped in me:
  • Systems thinking in high-stakes environments
  • Security-first habits
  • Calm execution under pressure
2010–2020

Civilian IT

Networks, operations, and small-business reality

After the military, I moved into IT management and consulting—installing, configuring, and maintaining systems and networks, and supporting small businesses through upgrades, troubleshooting, and user training.

What it shaped in me:
  • Practical reliability (what breaks, why it breaks, how to prevent it)
  • Real-world constraints (budget, time, people, legacy systems)
  • Customer support as a systems skill
2020

Entrepreneurship Begins

COVID-era builder path

Around COVID, I leaned fully into entrepreneurship—taking everything I'd learned about infrastructure, operations, and support, and applying it to building products and systems from scratch. This is where "IT infrastructure" expanded into "product infrastructure": shipping, iterating, learning markets, and building in public.

What it shaped in me:
  • Shipping products under real-world constraints
  • Market-driven iteration and feedback loops
  • Building in public and direct customer engagement
2024–2025

IT & Operations Manager

San Antonio Philharmonic

I served as IT & Operations Manager at the San Antonio Philharmonic, managing IT systems, cybersecurity, and performance technology, including streaming, ticketing, and digital asset management.

What it shaped in me:
  • Cybersecurity + operations alignment
  • Live environments where failure is visible
  • Systems that must work for both staff and the public
2025

Founder Institute

Texas cohort (Austin)

I completed the Founder Institute – Texas cohort in Austin, which sharpened the company-building side: positioning, traction discipline, and founder-level execution.

What it shaped in me:
  • Founder-level discipline and positioning
  • Traction metrics and growth frameworks
  • Company-building as a learnable craft
2025–Present

Super eComm Inc.

Building GRIDNET (The Internet for AI)

I'm now focused on Super eComm Inc.—building GRIDNET, the infrastructure layer that makes AI usage feel metered, measurable, and utility-like. GRIDNET is the infrastructure that helps AI usage become normalizable, accountable, and scalable—the way the internet standardized networking.

What it shaped in me:
  • Infrastructure-first approach to AI utility
  • Building for civilizational scale
  • Long-term stewardship and measured intelligence

Why this path makes sense

• The Army taught me secure communications infrastructure.

• Civilian IT taught me operational reliability in the real world.

• Small business consulting taught me simplicity, constraints, and usability.

• Entrepreneurship taught me how to ship systems people choose.

• Founder Institute strengthened the startup operator discipline.

• All of it leads to this: building the Internet for AI.
