Helping companies figure out what's possible with AI
I help established businesses cut through the noise, find the AI opportunities that matter, and build a strategy to make it real.
Your competitors are already using AI. Most of them are using it badly.
You've heard the pitch a hundred times. Nobody's shown you what it actually looks like for your business.
The gap isn't the technology. It's someone who'll sit down, look at how you actually work, and figure out what's possible.
That's what I do.
How I Work
Diagnose
I start by understanding what's really happening inside your business — not what you think is happening. Through leadership interviews, process mapping, and a structured AI readiness assessment, I identify where time gets lost, what's costing money, and which opportunities have the highest impact. No assumptions, no templates.
Build
Once we know what matters, I move fast. I scope the architecture, develop AI solutions tailored to your workflows, and integrate them into your existing systems — built to work the way your team actually operates, not the way a vendor wishes they did.
Integrate
The hardest part isn't building — it's making it stick. I run a controlled rollout, train your team hands-on, and stay embedded long enough to make sure the new tools become part of how work actually gets done. By the time I step back, it's not a project anymore.
CASE STUDY
How a 125-Year-Old Metal Fabrication Business Built a Modern Operating Capability Using AI
Empire Metal had 125 years of craft knowledge, landmark project photography, and a trusted reputation — but no system to translate those assets into digital visibility. Over four months, we diagnosed the real gaps, built the foundational infrastructure, and delivered an AI-powered operating system that runs on 45 minutes a week.
FAQs
You've got questions. Here's what I'd tell you over coffee.
I map how your business actually operates — where time gets lost, what slows things down, and what's costing you money you don't realize. Then I identify the highest-impact AI opportunities and prioritize them against your goals. You get a clear strategy and a roadmap. From there, we build.
A prioritized assessment deck with exactly where AI fits your business, what to do first, and why — not vague advice. You also get an implementation roadmap, working AI tools configured for your specific use cases, and team training so your people actually use them. Everything is concrete and actionable.
The assessment runs a few thousand dollars depending on the size of your business — less than one month of a junior hire, and you'll know exactly where to invest before you spend another dollar on AI. I'll walk you through pricing on a call so I can scope it to what you actually need.
Two weeks for most businesses, four if you're larger or more complex. You'll have results in weeks, not quarters. I move fast, test early, and only scale what's proven to work.
Especially for you. I built this for businesses with 5 to 200 employees — the ones too big to ignore AI and too small for a big consulting firm. You work directly with me, the person doing the work. No layers, no handoffs. My first project was a small family-owned manufacturer, and the results spoke for themselves.
