Tony Skrelūnas is an author, systems architect, and PhD candidate of Diné (Navajo) and Lithuanian descent.

He writes the Ancestral Watch series—novels that have quietly become a movement, offering tools drawn from Navajo, Hopi, Lithuanian, and Japanese traditions. His next book, The Unlost Code, explores AI and cultural intelligence.

His life's work sits at the intersection of ancestral wisdom and emerging technology. Through Twin Vision, a global organization he co‑founded, he works on agrovoltaics, decolonizing wellness, and technology that shifts systems from extraction to reciprocity. He advises on climate tech in Silicon Valley and leads executive transformations—work that grew from decades of reforming tribal governance, developing economic ventures for the Navajo Nation, and directing nationally recognized programs at the Grand Canyon Trust.

He holds an MBA from Northern Arizona University, where he was named Standard Bearer and alumni hall of famer. But the education that shaped him began earlier—raised on the high desert of Big Mountain by his great‑grandmother Masani, fluent in Navajo, carrying the teachings of his Lithuanian grandfather.

He is a father of three and a grandfather to a granddaughter in Silicon Valley. That fact now shapes everything: his move to develop executive retreats at the tech capital of the world, his insistence that ancestral wisdom belongs in boardrooms, his quiet certainty that the future we need is behind us, waiting to be remembered.

He splits his time between Arizona and Silicon Valley, with hopes of building a home in Lithuania.
