About
Brian spent two careers operating where the cost of a wrong call is paid in real consequences — eleven deployments across four combatant commands in Naval Special Warfare, then a second career at the intersection of artificial intelligence, national security, and advanced computing. Jess built her own world alongside it. What you're looking at is what comes next — together.
