Ventures

Six organizations, one through-line

Every project connects back to translating complex systems science into frameworks that people can actually use. From food safety certification to microbiome research to animal welfare.

Paleo Foundation

Founder & CEO

Active

For over 15 years, the Paleo Foundation has designed and implemented food certification standards used globally by manufacturers and brands. The Heavy Metal Tested and Certified (HMTc) program establishes category-specific contaminant limits using ALARA-based principles and statistical risk matrices for food, supplements, and personal care products.

Microbiome Medicine

Founder & Lead Researcher

Active

A clinician- and researcher-facing database designed to formalize disease-associated microbiome patterns through Major Microbial Associations (MMAs) and facilitate intervention development using a structured Microbial Shift and Realignment Process (MSRP). The validation framework requires interventions to both restore altered taxa and yield clinical improvement, co-validating the intervention and the underlying microbial signature.

Building

A scientific platform making the case for bacteriophage cocktails as precision replacements for broad-spectrum antibiotics. Phages target a single bacterial strain and leave the microbiome intact, where antibiotics carpet-bomb it. The flagship program is a prophylactic cocktail to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants by suppressing Klebsiella blooms. Includes 50 open-source CC0 grant proposals, a Build-a-Cocktail Lab, landmark case studies, and an interest waitlist — the connective tissue between microbiome signatures and the antimicrobial therapies of the next era.

Research

Foundational work introducing microbial metallomics as a critical lens to interpret pathogen virulence, microbial selection pressure, and nutrient-immune interactions in chronic diseases. Research focuses on the differential acquisition, utilization, and detoxification of trace elements among taxa enriched in disease states.

WikiBiome

Founder

Building

A comprehensive open-access platform for microbiome research, making disease-associated microbiome signatures and microbial data accessible to researchers, clinicians, and the public.

Tinies

Founder

Building

A platform built from the ground up to connect animal sanctuaries with sponsors and supporters. Born from running Gardens of St. Gertrude, a cat sanctuary in Cyprus caring for 92 cats, Tinies addresses the operational and fundraising challenges that sanctuaries face globally.
