I write about the relationship between states and the institutions that hold the AI frontier: who controls the capability, where dependence sits, and how technical power becomes strategic and economic power.
I spent fifteen years at the U.S. Naval War College as a tenured professor of strategy and policy, where I co-founded and co-directed the Center on Irregular Warfare and Armed Groups and held the T.C. Sass Chair in Maritime Irregular Warfare. My earlier work examined how armed groups exploit the seams between institutions; that framework is taught at U.S. intelligence colleges. I am the author of four books and hold a Ph.D. from The Fletcher School at Tufts University.
I now advise institutions working through questions of AI strategy, investment, dependence, and state power.
I take on a small number of private engagements.
