I run companies. I use AI to run them better.

I'm not an AI consultant by trade. I'm an operator — docks, EV charging, marine contracting, structured cabling — who got tired of waiting for software to show up and started building it. Along the way I learned what actually pays and what just looks impressive in a demo. If you own a business and want help telling the difference, I'm available.

What I do

Working sessions and ongoing advisory. You bring the business, I bring the map.

  1. 1

    A single working session

    Two hours on your business. We go through where your time and money actually leak, and I tell you which of it AI can take and which of it it can't. You leave with a written short list, in order, with what each one costs.

  2. 2

    Ongoing advisory

    Monthly. I stay close enough to your operation to be useful — reviewing what you're building, killing the projects that won't pay, and pointing your team or your vendor at the ones that will.

  3. 3

    A second opinion before you spend

    Someone quoted you for an AI project. You want to know if the number is fair and whether the thing will work. I'll read the proposal and tell you.

Rates depend on the business. Ask me on the call.

Who this is for

A good fit

Owner-operators doing real revenue with real employees. Trades, contracting, service businesses, small manufacturers. People who answer their own phone. People who want fewer hours in the business, not a new hobby.

Not a fit

Anyone looking for someone to be excited with them. Pre-revenue ideas that need a technical cofounder. Companies wanting a demo for a board deck. If you want to be told your idea is great, I'm the wrong call.

Where this actually shows up in my businesses

Everything below is running in a company I own, not a portfolio piece.

  • Phones that answer themselves

    Voice agents that take after-hours calls, qualify the caller, and put a real appointment on a real calendar. Quiet, unglamorous, pays for itself the first month.

  • Quoting and estimating

    Configurators and pricing tools that turn a site visit into a priced proposal before I'm out of the parking lot.

  • Finding the next customer

    Public records, permits, and licensing data pulled and scored so my morning starts with a list instead of a guess.

  • The paperwork nobody wants

    Bookkeeping, compliance, and the follow-up nobody remembers to send. Handled by software I built in an afternoon.

What I run

These are mine. They're also where every idea above got tested.

Selected press

In 2015 I flew the first U.S. plane to land in Cuba in 55 years, with a news crew on board. A number of outlets covered it.

Background

Short version, because it matters less than what I can do for you.

  • Built a four-person company to the Inc. 500 in three years and sold it.
  • Flew the first U.S. plane to land in Cuba in 55 years.
  • Before that, ran one that did $120 million and then lost it. That one taught more.
  • Airline pilot. Before that, U.S. Air Force — Hurricane Hunters.
  • Tesla-certified EV charging installer.
  • Ten years in EO, the Entrepreneurs' Organization.
  • Husband, father of five, grandfather of eight.

Let's talk

Twenty minutes, no pitch. Tell me what the business does and what's eating your week. If I can help, I'll say how. If I can't, I'll tell you that too and probably point you at someone who can.
