Description

As a business psychologist and behavioral evaluator, my career is dedicated to understanding how complex entities - whether human executives, threat actors, or artificial intelligence models - navigate cognitive dissonance and intractable conflict.

Currently, my research and consulting focus is on Machine Psychology. I design and execute empirical sociotechnical stress tests to evaluate the behavioral boundaries of Large Language Models (LLMs). Utilizing multi-agent frameworks, psycholinguistic analysis (LIWC-22), and custom lexicons, I investigate phenomena like "Semantic Resilience" and "Persona Drift" to understand how alignment protocols (e.g., RLHF) hold up under adversarial pressure.

As Managing Director of Twisters Management Consulting LLC, I bridge the gap between empirical AI research and organizational reality. My approach is deeply informed by over 25 years of expertise in investigative psychology, executive threat assessment, and leadership development. Whether I am training security personnel in negotiation, utilizing ground-based equine interactions to reveal nonverbal influence, or testing a frontier model's moral courage, my objective remains the same: to empirically map behavior under stress and build more resilient systems and leaders.
