The Journey

From a computer repair shop to the frontier of AI education. A path shaped by curiosity, creativity, and the belief that technology should serve humanity.

Early Years

The Spark

Summers spent in my uncle's computer repair shop in Northwest Arkansas. Motherboards, soldering irons, command-line interfaces. That's where curiosity became craft. While other kids learned technology as a tool, I learned it as a language.

2011-2023

The Enterprise Chapter

12 years at Walmart's cybersecurity organization. SOC Analyst → Incident Response → Adversary Hunt Team → M&A Due Diligence → International Security → Risk Assessment Architecture. Every dimension of the problem space, driven by curiosity.

October 2023

The Inflection Point

The cybersecurity territory was mapped. The AI revolution was accelerating. The gap between technical possibility and practical implementation was enormous. Time to build something new.

The Mission

Triton Studios exists to evolve the relationship between people and technology. We believe that emergent technology (AI, machine learning, creative computing) should be accessible to everyone, not just technologists.

We don't just teach tools. We help people develop new ways of thinking, creating, and collaborating with technology. We meet people where they are, honor diverse learning styles, and build bridges between human creativity and machine capability.
