Harbor

There is nothing dearer to a man than his own country and his parents.

Homer, Odyssey IX, trans. Samuel Butler (1900)

Lately

  • Running sales and marketing for Concordia Publishing House's software division, where I own the P&L.
  • Putting AI to work across the company: training teams, building workflows, and setting up how we measure what they pay back.
  • Earned my MBA at Washington University's Olin Business School, 2026.
  • Helped build and teach Generative AI for Communicators at WashU in summer 2026, including sessions on checking AI output and building repeatable AI workflows.
  • Completed the Koch Center Own-Operate-Invest Fellowship in May 2026. My capstone built a way to measure how well a company's operations match its stated values, with a human and an AI model scoring side by side.
  • Building this village in public. How it's built is in the Workshop.

A short note

I'm Rob Davidson. I studied philosophy and the classics, built a career in revenue and marketing, and now I build with AI. This site is the record of that work. Walk around, or skip straight to any page.
