About

I'm a father of 1, Air Force military veteran, author and serial entrepreneur. I met my former spouse on a dating app—so I know they CAN work. But I also know how much time gets wasted on fake profiles, ghosting, catfishing, endless swiping and people seeking to fill an entertainment void. Now I've built Kinetic Mingle: an AI-powered video dating platform that shows you who someone really is from day one. We deserves real, intentional connections when they invest time with online dating. We deserve more! I write about the science of modern dating at https://resources.kineticmingle.com

Launching Kinetic Mingle March 24, 2026: Video-first dating app to eliminate catfishing

Hey Product Hunt! I'm the founder of Kinetic Mingle, I've been looking at threads here for a while and figured it's time to say hi!

What I Built

Kinetic Mingle is a video-first dating platform for adults 21+. We focus and lead with the the personal interaction part of online dating. It's front and center of our platform. Instead of static photos, filtered glamor shots and robotic swiping, users connect directly through video chat, video messaging, voice notes, and verified profiles. Our AI coaching assistant is a highlight feature. It uses adaptive learning tailored to individual user activity. You get your own personalized AI agent. Its a real gem!

How much do you trust AI agents?

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.
