Tom has served as CEO of Bintel since cofounding the company in 2019. Before that he was COO of ai-one inc. where led the projects for NASA Marshall, SwissRe, Boeing and FedEx. For the past 15 years he has specialized in artificial intelligence applications for enterprise and government with a critical integration of Subject Matter Experts, AI, data, and visualizations. For FedEx this included topic classification and visualization of customer experience data collected weekly from survey data on FedEx.com. A project with an Army military intelligence group involved the development of a sophisticated intelligence platform that included GEOINT and provided situational awareness for an allied military. His current mission is to bring that caliber of solutions to counties in the West.
Come see Bintel and Athena's Microtalk at FACO's Colorado Wildland Fire Conference in October at Snowmass. We'll discuss our approach and offer guidelines for the firefighting community on how and where to think about the benefits of artificial intelligence. Both firms have been in AI for a long time and have some strong opinions about what it can and can't do.

Bintel’s Trigger Point modeling calculates how long it will take a fire to reach a value-at-risk, hence the trigger for a resident to evacuate safely. Traditional fire behavior techniques model fire moving away from a pre-determined point of ignition, while Bintel’s modeling starts away from an evacuation route and calculates how long the fire will take to reach the road from any potential ignition point on the landscape. This produces a map of the time that responders have to save lives and property.

The Bintel Team was excited to win the contract to update two CWPPs and write two more covering the Denali Borough in Alaska. The three day kickoff trip was a great series of meetings, tours and public engagement that was expertly orchestrated by the Borough team and partners. The landscape is as rugged as one can imagine and the people are warm and friendly. That said, this is not WUI as we know it. This is just Wild, no UI. For now I offer up some pics and commentary from my first visit, but watch for more on the unique attributes of this CWPP project later this year.
