Tech & Growth Consulting for Home and Business

30+ years building and scaling real businesses, applied to whatever you're working through — a household tech setup that keeps everyone safe, a decision about which tools are worth paying for, or your business's next growth move. Tell me what's going on.

What I Actually Help With

Home Tech Setup & Safety

For anyone setting up tech for the people they look out for — a first phone for a kid, a new tablet for a parent or grandparent, or a household that just wants the scam calls and sketchy texts to stop. Parental controls, privacy settings, and scam-proofing, set up once and done right.

Most of this happens in a single session, not a subscription. We go through your specific people, devices, and worries, and you walk away with settings that are actually configured, plus a clear answer for who to call when something looks wrong.

Tools & AI, Decoded

For anyone looking at an app, a subscription, or an AI tool and wondering whether it's worth it. A straight answer on what the tool actually does, what it costs over a year, what it does with your data, and whether something you already pay for covers it.

The question is the same for a family, a solo operator, or a company with fifty people — whether it's a $9 app or a $900-a-month platform.

Business Growth & Infrastructure

The same growth and infrastructure thinking behind three decades of building real businesses, applied directly to yours — marketing strategy, tech stack decisions, and the systems that let a small team operate like a bigger one.

This isn't a generic audit template. It's built around whatever is actually slowing your business down right now, drawing on building and selling an agency and serving as CIO/CMO of a multi-brand restaurant group.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this consulting for?

Anyone with a tech or growth decision to make — households, families, individuals, solo operators, and businesses of any size. If you're not sure it fits, send a message anyway.

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.
