AI & Business Growth Consultant
I help businesses, from owner-led firms to established teams, grow revenue and run leaner. I find where money is leaking and time is being lost, then design and deliver the fix, from strategy to working systems.
Full-scope support across strategy, operations, and technology. If it is slowing the business down or costing you customers, it is in scope.
01Services
Every engagement is scoped to a measurable outcome: more revenue, lower costs, or hours returned to the business.
Where the revenue leaks and where the hours go. Financial analysis, pricing and margins, cash flow, follow-up, capacity, and the unglamorous process fixes that usually pay for themselves before any technology is involved.
Websites, landing pages, booking and inquiry flows, and the follow-up behind them. Built to convert visitors into qualified inquiries.
CRM, quoting, reporting, scheduling, and the repetitive work that quietly consumes the week. Handed to software that doesn't get tired, forget a step, or clock out at five.
Chatbots, assistants, agents, and document handling, deployed where they deliver a measurable return. I identify the highest-value opportunities first, then build them properly.
02Selected work
Products and systems I have designed and delivered. Select any one for a closer look.
Recovers revenue lost to failed card payments. When a subscriber’s card declines, Akwiz follows up automatically until the payment is updated. Delivered end to end: product, Stripe integration, email delivery, accounts, and billing.
A done-for-you customer reactivation program for local service businesses. A five-email, three-text sequence that brings past customers back without paid advertising.
A purpose-built CRM that replaces a $30 to $100 monthly subscription. Deal pipeline, contacts, and a dated next step on every opportunity, with AI able to read and update it directly.
Identifies businesses that match a target profile, extracts contact details from their websites, removes duplicates, and loads a clean list into the CRM. Hours of manual prospecting reduced to a single run.
Scores how ready a website is to be found and cited by ChatGPT, Claude, and Google’s AI answers across ten criteria, then generates the fixes and a client-ready report.
Websites that people remember: 3D scenes, scroll-driven storytelling, and motion that guides visitors toward an inquiry. The tiles on this page, and the demo beside this text, are built the same way.
Takes a metrics export and produces a branded, client-ready performance report with KPI summaries and trend charts. The same report regenerates every week or month without manual formatting.
Custom AI assistants, agents, and integrations designed around how an organization actually works. They connect to the systems already in place, so teams get answers and automation inside the tools they use every day.
03Where this usually starts
If one of these sounds like your operation, it is a good first conversation.
“We know we should be doing something with AI, but nobody can tell us where to start.”
“Inquiries come in and sit for hours before anyone gets back to them.”
“The same information gets typed into three different systems every day.”
“We bought an AI tool, used it for two weeks, and quietly stopped.”
“I am running this on my own and I have become the bottleneck for everything.”
“We have the data. Nobody has the time to turn it into anything useful.”
“Our website looks dated and does not turn visitors into inquiries.”
“We spend money on marketing and cannot tell what is actually working.”

Illustrative estimate. Leads contacted within an hour are far more likely to convert than those contacted later (Harvard Business Review, “The Short Life of Online Sales Leads”).
05Approach
A clear path from first conversation to finished work, with no surprises on scope or price.
We talk through the problem, the goal, and what success looks like. No cost, no obligation.
A fixed-price proposal with deliverables and timeline, agreed before work begins.
Delivered in stages with regular check-ins, so each stage proves its value.
Everything documented and handed to you or your team. Support available, never required.
06Background
I bring a business and strategy background to AI implementation.
My degree is in business and political science, and my early work was in campaign strategy: resource allocation under hard constraints, message testing, and decisions made on incomplete information. I moved from there into financial services, working with individuals and families on planning decisions, where accuracy, discretion, and clarity were the baseline expectation rather than the differentiator.
I also grew up around several family-owned businesses and gained hands-on entrepreneurial experience across acquisition, operations, and sale. That is practical exposure to where a business generates margin, and where it quietly loses it.
The combination shapes how I work. Commercially grounded, operationally realistic, and focused on measurable outcomes rather than experimentation for its own sake.
07Questions
No. Much of the work is growth and operations: a website that converts, a follow-up process that stops leads going cold, cleaner reporting, a pricing review. AI is one tool among several, used where it clearly outperforms the alternatives.
No. Most conversations begin with a description of what is slow or frustrating rather than a specification. Working out what is worth building, and in what order, is part of the engagement.
Fixed price against a written scope, agreed before any work begins. Larger projects are divided into stages so the commitment stays proportionate to what has been proven so far.
You do. Code, accounts, credentials, and documentation are handed over on completion. Nothing is structured in a way that creates an ongoing dependency on me.
It stays yours. Systems are built inside your own accounts and infrastructure wherever practical, and anything shared during an engagement is treated as confidential.
Yes. Most engagements run remotely, and clients are located anywhere. Chicago is simply where I am based.
Usually within a week or two of the first conversation. Scoping is deliberately short, because the work only becomes clear once the problem is properly defined.
