What I do

THE ANCHOR

Consulting & Planning

For people mid-decision: a new website, a new brand, or an intake process to figure out what you should be doing. The job is getting you past analysis-paralysis and moving, with a real plan for the next six to nine months to work from.

Start here

The bench — brought in as needed

I keep a small bench of specialists I bring in when a project calls for them, so nothing stalls waiting on one skill set I don’t have.

  • DevOps

    The infrastructure and systems behind the scenes, built to keep running long after our engagement has ended.

  • AI

    Automation, analysis, and assistants shaped to how you already work. No transformation talk.

  • Web design

    A site built for what you're actually trying to do, not just how it looks.

  • Email marketing

    The right message to the right people, on a cadence you can actually keep up with.

  • Social media marketing

    Content and presence that fit into a rhythm, not another job.

  • Event planning

    From the first idea to the day it happens — logistics, and the right people to help pull it off.

WHAT TO EXPECT

I'm a guide, not a coach handing down the one right answer. No promised revenue, no promised customer count — just hours back in your day, and a plan that can shift when the currents do.

HOW IT GOES

Four steps, no deck.

  1. You bring the project, or the fog around it.

    A new site, a new brand, an intake process nobody likes. It does not have to be defined yet.

  2. We talk.

    No pitch, no package. One conversation to find out whether there is something here.

  3. I ask the dumb questions until the real problem shows up.

    Sixteen years across AT&T, AWS, and HP taught me that the stated problem is rarely the one blocking the work.

  4. We pick the smallest thing that moves it.

    I build it or hand over a plan you can run without me. Most engagements run about three weeks, and you keep the keys either way — no platform lock-in.

First question: What's the fog around this, for you right now?

No pitch and no package. Bring the project, or the fog around it, and we'll find the next step together.
