Where you can find me
Most people in IT either know technology or they know your industry. I'm one of the few who grew up in both.
My grandfather built residential and commercial properties. My mother ran the realty and building office. My father ran a carpentry business. My stepfather ran a painting business. Both of them spent years fighting with manually creating estimates and proposals. Now retired, they never got to take advantage of what's available today.
I watched construction companies get sold software that was never set up for how they actually ran. I watched people work around systems instead of through them. I watched owners become the bottleneck for everything because no one ever built the operation to run without them in the middle of it.
I spent 30 years in corporate IT, fixing systems, running infrastructure, managing technology across multiple industries. Then I came back to the trades. Not to sell software. Not to manage your hardware. To do for trades businesses what nobody ever did for my family's.
I start with whatever you want to improve, not with a packaged audit or a predefined roadmap. You tell me what's not working. I tell you what it would take to fix it. You decide if you want to move forward.
Most engagements start with one thing and grow from there. That's intentional. I'd rather earn the broader relationship by solving the first problem well than pitch you on the whole picture before we've worked together.
That includes AI. Sometimes it's turning on features already in your software. Sometimes it's building AI into a daily task, like reading crew text replies so nobody has to chase them. I use AI every day in my own business, so I can give you a straight answer on what's useful and what's marketing.
I work on flat-fee projects, or on a monthly retainer for clients who want someone available ongoing. No minimum commitments. No contracts designed to keep you locked in.
I don't sell software. You buy it directly from the vendor. You own that relationship permanently, independent of anything we do together. No bundled licensing. No monthly fees that disappear if you stop working with me.
Most IT firms and MSPs bundle software into their retainer fees. If you leave them, your access can go with it. That's not how I work. There's no financial incentive for me to point you toward any particular platform, and nothing is held hostage.
If we stop working together tomorrow, your software, your data, and your systems stay with you. That's the way it should be.
My clients are contractors and trades businesses across Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Berks Counties. They're typically 5 to 50 people, owner-operated or with a small office team.
Some are growing fast and the systems haven't kept up. Some have been around for decades and are finally ready to clean things up. Some just have one specific thing they want to fix.
The common thread: they're too busy running the business to figure out the technology piece themselves, and they need someone who already understands both sides.
Tell me what you're trying to improve. I'll give you a straight answer on whether and how I can help.
