What I Actually Help With

Family Tech Consulting

For parents who want an actual plan instead of guessing — a screen-time policy that holds up, parental controls set up once and done right, and a plain-English walkthrough of whatever device or app just showed up in your house.

Most of this work happens in a single session, not a subscription — we go through your specific kid, specific devices, and specific worries, and you walk away with settings that are actually configured, not just a list of things to go do later.

Senior Tech Consulting

For families setting up a parent or grandparent with tech that's safe by default — device setup, scam-proofing, and a clear answer for who to call when something looks wrong, so you're not troubleshooting from three states away.

This usually means a real conversation with the parent or grandparent themselves, not just the adult child arranging it — the goal is a setup they'll actually stick with, not one that gets undone the first time it's inconvenient.

Solo Operator / SMB Growth Consulting

The same growth and infrastructure thinking behind three decades of building real businesses, applied directly to yours — marketing strategy, tech stack decisions, and a straight answer on which AI tools are actually worth paying for.

This isn't a generic audit template — it's built around whatever's actually slowing your business down right now, drawing on having built and sold a real agency and led marketing for a multi-brand restaurant group, not just theory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does consulting cost?

It depends on the scope, so there's no set price posted here. Reach out through the contact form below with what you're working on, and you'll get a real answer, not a generic rate card.

Is this a one-time session or an ongoing engagement?

Both exist depending on what you need — a single working session to solve one specific problem, or an ongoing arrangement for something that needs sustained attention. Tell me which one fits and we'll go from there.

What's Keith's background for this kind of consulting?

30+ years in marketing and technology, including founding and selling an advertising agency, serving as a Virginia Governor-appointed transit commissioner, and leading marketing for a multi-brand restaurant group. More on the About page.
