Founder, AskThree. Founder & CEO, HeritageWhisper. Former Verizon Associate Vice President.

Who built AskThree

I spent 20 years at Verizon. Started at a mall kiosk in Spokane, WA, ended as Associate Vice President of Solutions Architecture for National Technical Sales, leading 450+ across solutions architects, pre-sales engineering, cybersecurity, UC product specialists, SaaS enablement, and a customer success organization I built from scratch.

Twelve promotions. Four-time President's Cabinet winner, top 1% of sales leaders nationally. Four Senior Sales Director roles spanning roughly 20 states and 1,000+ people, generating over $1B in revenue. Verizon Master Red Team certification, one of 12 selected nationally.

I left Verizon through a Voluntary Separation Program to build with AI full-time. AskThree is one of those builds.

Why AskThree exists

For two years before I built it, every important question I asked AI went to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini separately, each with a prompt tailored to that model's strengths. I would cross-reference their answers, validate claims with web searches, and synthesize everything by hand.

The results were great. The process took 45 minutes per question.

AskThree automates that workflow: parallel multi-model querying, real-time web grounding, and synthesis that flags where the models agree and where one of them invented something the others did not corroborate. It is the public expression of a methodology I built for my own research.
