For seven years, Noah lived every parent's nightmare: his son cut him off completely, refusing to reply to even a single text. At the same time, he was wrestling with destructive patterns involving his siblings and parents.

After one especially painful family explosion, his brother suggested they hold a “family council” to establish basic expectations and ways to resolve conflict. With family members ranging from devout Mormons and Catholics to agnostics and atheists, Noah was skeptical it would produce anything but more drama. Instead, that idea launched him on a quest to understand how families with deeply opposing worldviews can still stay intact.

Drawing on his unusual background as a systems designer, Noah attacked the question rigorously. A former professor of video game programming, he had spent years modeling complex human behavior. He is also the author of Successful Scrumbutt (Routledge, 2016), adopted as a course text at the University of Texas at Dallas. As an advertising executive, he learned how cultural narratives shape what people actually do. Now serving as an active-duty Air Force Staff Sergeant stationed in Germany, he sees daily how clear standards and deliberate trust allow diverse teams to succeed under pressure.

What he discovered upended many of his assumptions. The strongest families across time are not held together by shared beliefs, but by a small set of principles that allow deep disagreement without betrayal.

Noah's desire to share what he learned became The New American Family Code. The book and his workshops offer a practical framework that families across the political and religious spectrum can use to build stronger, more satisfying lives together.

For Noah, the framework isn't theory. It's what he uses every day to build healthier relationships across his family, and what brought his son back. Seven years of silence eventually became something sweeter than ever.
