AJ Maddeny

AJ Maddenny is a Strategic Conflict Advisor with 25 years of experience helping people and organizations navigate breakdowns in relationships, partnerships, and decision systems. He blends Decision Science, Conflict Analysis and Resolution, and an MBA to translate messy problems into clear choices people can act on. AJ has advised the U.S. State Department as a Senior Policy Analyst, mediated police complaint cases with the D.C. Office of Police Complaints, and served as a FINRA arbitrator.

He is the author of Spousing: How Love Survives Marriage, a practical and witty field guide to modern marriage, and Divorce Emergency Protocol, a handbook for the first ninety days after the words I want out. Spousing replaces pop-psych slogans with usable tools like JEA, PIN, and Touchstones that couples can practice immidiately. The goal is simple. Restore power parity, reduce volatility, and make partnership workable again.

AJ consults nationally and is based in Virginia. He builds decision tools, teaches conflict as a readable system, and writes for people who want less drama and more function.
