You don't need another consultant. You need someone who's been where you are.

I've scaled enterprise teams from 2 to 150+ people. I've owned small businesses. I've held patents, led deployments, and spent 40 years learning what works and what doesn't. That's not a resume — that's pattern recognition you can't buy from a generalist.

What It Means For You

Credentials are only worth something if they change the outcome.

Here's what mine mean for your business specifically.

U.S. Marine Veteran

I don't quit when it gets hard. Deployments run on time or we figure out why — and fix it. You'll never be left wondering where things stand.

40+ Years Enterprise Tech

I've seen what works at scale — at Xylan, Polycom, Device Authority. I bring that pattern recognition to your 10-person operation so you skip the mistakes companies paid millions to learn.

MIT xPro AI Facilitator

I teach product leaders and engineers how to build AI systems. That's the depth I bring to your deployment — not YouTube tutorials and prompt hacks.

Multiple U.S. Patents

I build things that didn't exist before. When your business needs something custom — not a generic tool — that's what I do.

MBA — Acton School of Business

I speak business, not just tech. ROI, cash flow, operational efficiency — I build AI that solves business problems, not technical ones.

Small Business Owner

I've run payroll, managed tight margins, and made decisions with incomplete information. I know what it costs when something doesn't work. That shapes how I build for you.

"Designing and Building AI Products and Services"

MIT's professional education program teaching product leaders and engineers how to build AI-powered products. The same depth I bring to every client deployment.

The Difference

Most AI consultants advise.
We build, deploy, and stay.

Other "AI Consultants"

Strategy decks that gather dust
Months of 'discovery' before anything ships
No actual deployment — just recommendations
Vendor lock-in to tools you don't control
Team left untrained when they leave
Gone after the invoice is paid

Ready to Start

30 minutes. No pitch. Straight answers about where AI fits in your business.

The first consultation is free. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's possible, what it costs, and whether it makes sense. No obligation.

I work with a limited number of clients at a time. See if your business qualifies.
