Built for trades, shops, and small businesses (1–25 employees)

You run the business. I'll handle the parts you didn't sign up for.

Audits to find what's slowing you down. Coaching to plan the fix. Or done-for-you work — systems, strategy, scaling — when you'd rather hand it off. No long contracts. No upsells.

Why Me

No one will ever care about your business more than you do. I try to come close.

Most consultants leave you with a slide deck. Most developers leave you with a tool. Neither is enough on its own — and that's the gap I work in.

Three backgrounds shape how I work: a Ranger-qualified infantry officer, a business analyst / product owner in custom software, and a financial planner (401(k)s, Simple IRAs, life insurance). The military taught me to take a vision and do whatever it takes to accomplish the mission. The other two taught me how small businesses actually run — from the first sales conversation to the final invoice in QuickBooks.

But the real difference isn't the background. It's that I love this work — solving an owner's problems, building solutions, and helping clients grow in their business and personal life. One person, start to finish, who treats your business like it's their own.

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3

What I Do

Three ways I help small businesses grow.

Most projects start with an audit. From there, we pick the right mix of coaching and implementation.
