My name is Bernard, I’m a behavioral strategist, former consultant/executive, author, and now founder of SilverBeacon, a project rooted in a simple but powerful idea: that personalized, dynamically generated stories can support wellness in older adults.

With a doctorate, two master’s degrees, and certifications in AI, gerontology, brain health, and aging-in-place, my work has always focused on human systems, change, and behavior — helping people and organizations navigate complexity. My background in psychology and organizational dynamics led me to one recurring insight: data and strategy matter, but it's the stories we engage with that shape how we feel, act, and grow — especially as we age.

SilverBeacon builds on that insight. It combines evidence-based approaches to narratives and aging with technology that delivers personalized, emotionally resonant stories tailored to each person’s interests and lived experience. This is not only entertainment. It’s a wellness interface — a way to reinforce connection, evoke memory, and enhance emotional, mental, spiritual wellness.

I’m now building out this vision: designing frameworks, shaping partnerships, and guiding development so that more people — families, caregivers, and professionals — can use story as a tool for dignity, vitality, and connection in later life.
