I fix what others only talk about.

Business Troubleshooter

No jargon. No frameworks. No slide decks.
Just first-principles thinking, clarity, and hands-on execution.

If your business is stuck, stagnant, or overwhelmed,
I help you find the truth — and fix what matters.

Let's Talk

No consultants

No theater

No MBA BS

Most consultants give you a vocabulary, not a solution.
Most frameworks describe your problems, they don’t fix them.
Most slide decks sit on shelves.
Most “transformation initiatives” collapse on day two.

I do the opposite.

I step inside the business,

find what’s real,

and fix it.

Not from a conference room.
Not from a deck.
From the inside.

Where the work actually happens.

I troubleshoot companies.

I diagnose what’s holding your business back, then fix it with clarity, structure, and execution.

I deliver:

  • Clear diagnosis of root problems

  • Stabilized operations

  • Aligned teams and decision flows

  • Improved margins and pricing discipline

  • Simplified processes and reduced chaos

  • Real accountability and communication clarity

  • A business that works without constant firefighting

  • A path for growth, transition, or sale

Perspective on me:

 

Observe -> Imagine -> Plan-> Execute ¬
repeat


This simple but effective design mindset lead me to success in a myriad of professional challenges in management in technology, architecture, sales, marketing, and investment. With this mindset I accomplished a few things while wearing a few hats:

  • Self-Taught Coder/Hacker,

  • Architect of awarded Buildings,

  • Inventor of Technology (patents),

  • Startup Entrepreneur (multiple),

  • VP of Delivery,

  • Expert in Investment Due-Diligence,

  • CAD drafter and 3D Modeler/Animator/VR,

  • CTO and Software Architect,

  • Design College Professor,

  • AI Researcher,

  • Sales and Biz Dev VP,

  • Nonprofit Director of Product, and

  • CEO.

I roll up my sleeves, recruit, lead, and won’t relent until goals are reached. It’s a lot to grapple with, but if you want one take away may it be that I am Resourceful.

Designed this.
