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.
This includes helping clients understand what AI capabilities in their existing tools can actually do for them — separating what's genuinely useful from what's marketing. I use AI extensively in my own practice, so I can give you a straight answer.
I work as an hourly consultant, 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.
My clients are contractors and trades businesses across Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Berks Counties — 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.
