About

I read a lot of AI news. Probably too much. Every day I sort through the announcements, research papers, policy fights and hype, and I include some of the most important stories in a Daily AI Briefing.

Then I find ways to use these new tools at work.

What I do

I’m the Senior Director of Digital Marketing Development at Baylor University. My team builds and supports the university’s websites. We use AI every day: to write and review code, to draft and edit content, and to make sense of analytics (among other things).

What you’ll find here

• The Daily AI Briefing. A short, curated rundown of the AI stories worth your attention, almost every day.
• Essays. Longer pieces on where AI is headed and what it means for higher education, digital teams and the rest of us.

What I believe about AI in higher ed

AI is changing the world whether we like it or not. There are larger questions of alignment, of course, but I think others are more interested in reporting on AI safety and model development. My impression, however, is that the tools are moving fast, and it’s important to understand how people can use them in the course of their own work.

Talks and conversations

I’m glad to talk with higher ed and marketing groups about practical AI adoption, from building an AI-ready web team to imagining useful and practical guidelines that people will actually follow.

The rest of me

I’m a husband and a dad of three. I enjoy hiking or camping, and I love a good movie or board game. Before Baylor, I led web and communications at Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston, and I still occasionally do some freelance web consulting work.

AI Practices

Some of the content you’ll see here is generated by AI. Specifically, summaries of articles are primarily AI created, although I often reword or adjust length. If entire posts are AI-created, I’ll note these. (As I type this, there’s only one post fully AI-generated: The EU’s trillion click mistake, my attempt at using Claude Fable 5 to help understand costs of the EU’s cookie consent policies.) I find AI to be a helpful editor, so almost all of the writing here has an AI editor. I have other ideas about AI automation and generation, so I expect to use this blog as a place to explore these capabilities.
