Ford Prior
Hi, I’m Ford. I’m a lifelong Richmonder and father of three, proudly living in Richmond, Virginia. Previously at AWS, I’m now lending my brain and typing fingers to GEICO, where I coach engineers on AI best practices, run a claims lab, and share our work to help attract the world’s best engineers. I do all of this within the claims technology organization under my boss, Paul, also a Richmonder. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the city with my children and help run Hack for RVA, which hosts Richmond’s first-ever civic hackathon. Our ultimate goal is to implement a 10-year plan for civic innovation in this region that has given me all that I have.
