Field notes on AI,
marketing, and technology
in a deeply human
business.

I'm Nick. By training I'm a researcher — the PhD kind — and these days most of my time goes to a nonprofit addiction treatment organization in Tennessee, where I lead the science, technology, and data work. That covers more ground than it sounds like: research and outcomes, IT, quality, the marketing team, alumni services. Lately a good deal of it is working out how AI actually fits into an organization whose real work is deeply human.

Outside of that I read widely and a little indiscriminately — more than I'll ever finish. This site is where I keep a few things worth writing down.
