AI strategy practice for $10M+ manufacturers and contractors. Adopted the STE framework (Strategy → Transformation → Education), built the $1,000 paid AI Business Assessment funnel, and integrated the underlying voice-AI + CRM + checkout stack.
I build AI strategy — and the systems that prove it out.
21+ years inside Intel manufacturing operations, now applied to AI. I run a consulting practice for mid-market businesses and ship the products, voice agents, and pipelines underneath it.
Active fronts.
Consulting practice
AI strategy for $10M+ manufacturers and contractors. I bring 23 years of operations leadership and lean manufacturing experience directly to the engagement — figuring out which problems are actually worth automating and what a real, working plan looks like for that specific business.
Voice AI in production
Two voice agents run on the Bridgework line: Ava conducts the 20-minute paid AI Business Assessment, and Alfred handles inbound and books follow-up calls. Built on GoHighLevel.
The portfolio
A working list of side-builds — CommitRight, Ladder League, and whatever’s next in the queue — kept alive so the consulting stays sharp. If I’m advising on AI, I’m also shipping with it.
Products, pipelines, and sites — shipped.
$47 recruiting database product backed by an 11-script Python pipeline scraping 1,263 NCAA and NAIA women's soccer programs — coach names, emails, roster sizes, academics. Includes Playwright scraping, SMTP verification, lead-magnet PDFs, and a full launch funnel.
Head coach of the varsity program. Built the program website in Next.js 15 + TypeScript + Tailwind — player and parent hub, schedule, camp registration, and accomplishments. Run the admin side (practice planning, form submissions, social-media graphic creation, roster management, parent comms) using Claude Cowork as my assistant.
CommitRight Coach Outreach Pipeline
13-script Python pipeline that scrapes high-school and club girls-soccer coach emails across ten target states (MaxPreps, ECNL, GA, US Club Soccer). Produces a CRM-ready CSV export with verified deliverable addresses.
Ecommerce portfolio (two consumer brands)
Own and operate two physical-products ecom businesses with a small team of three. Storefronts on Shopify; SEO, on-page, internal linking, content, and technical phases handled in-house. Trained and deployed GoHighLevel chatbots into the Shopify storefronts for support and recovery flows. Use Veo, nanobanana2, and other AI image and video tools to produce social and YouTube content at volume — currently 1,000+ YouTube subscribers and 70K+ on Instagram, all from AI-generated creative. Publish a weekly newsletter on Beehiiv.
Web app I built for my dad's 8-ball pool league — match tracking, ladder standings, league management, and a handicapping system that adjusts spots based on player rating. Built and hosted on Replit.

Operator first. AI second.
23 years at Intel Corporation in Chandler — Operations Manager, Manufacturing Shift Manager, Captain of the Ship for 200+ technicians on a multi-billion-dollar fab, Engineering Group Leader in Assembly Technology Development, and Strategic Career Coach to senior leaders. Lean Manufacturing was the lens.
In 2017 I bought a physical-products online retailer and ramped revenue 40% YoY at 40–50% net margin — self-taught Amazon Seller Central, Shopify, paid social, sourcing, logistics, and copy. That’s where I learned how small businesses actually run.
Now I bring that operator’s eye to AI: which problems are actually worth automating, which ones aren’t, and what it takes for a team to own the result after the consultant leaves. Purdue grad (1997, Organizational Leadership) and a die-hard Boilermaker basketball fan — if Matt Painter’s team is playing, the laptop’s closed. Boiler Up.
