This biographical summary outlines a career spanning technical support at GTE Government Systems, decades of stereoscopic and panoramic video documentation of Maui’s environment, and research collaborations with the Maui High Performance Computing Center and Silicon Graphics on early web-based 3D geographic information systems. It also covers work in disaster response, environmental science, and support for permafrost research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

More recent work includes hurricane-data visualization, 4K panoramic video, disaster-relief volunteering, and peace initiatives centered on Maui.

I authored a nonviolent resistance campaign strategy. In 2026, I published HAIO-GATS, a governance and audit specification for human-supervised AI operations.

I am an independent researcher and project leader working through NKO.ORG and the Maui S.A.V.E. Program. My work connects environmental visualization, immersive media, scientific communication, disaster response, peace initiatives, and human-supervised AI operations.

1980 to 1982

I had provided technical support at GTE Government Systems’ Antenna Development and Prototype Support Facility. Later between 1985 and 2000, I used stereoscopic film and video to document Maui’s natural environment. In addition, in 1990, I co-exhibited with Michael Starks during the launch of 3DTV Corporation at CES.

1992 to 1996

I conducted independent research associated with the Maui High Performance Computing Center. During this period, I served as Principal Investigator for an independent research project. Specifically, the project involved MHPCC, Silicon Graphics, and the Maui S.A.V.E. Program. Together, we developed an early internet-based three-dimensional virtual-reality geographic information system.

After registering NKO.ORG in 1996, I continued research at the Maui Research & Technology Center. There, I operated an independent laboratory with a network of Silicon Graphics workstations. Afterward, projects explored live internet video, remote servers, wireless networks, laptops, USB modems, and mobile devices.

In 2015 and 2016, I supported the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute Permafrost Laboratory. For example this work included scientific imaging, field documentation, panoramic media, and live 360-degree video.

Today

My work includes hurricane-data visualization, environmental communication, panoramic 4K video, and disaster-relief volunteering. In addition, I support efforts to establish Maui as a center for environmental science and peace.

I developed the Strategic Nonviolent Campaign 2025–2029 to Resist Autocratic Consolidation:

Most recently, I began formalizing research in human-supervised AI operations. In 2026, I authored the Human-Supervised AI Operations Governance and Audit Trail Specification, known as HAIO-GATS. In particular the specification defines controls for bounded authority, approval gates, actor accountability, provenance, independent verification, and cryptographic transparency.
