Ask Me Anything — First Conversation Is FreeBased in Mankato, MN · Working with clients anywhere via Zoom
For the AI-curious business owner. You keep hearing about AI. Is it hype, or could it actually help your business? In one hands-on session, we try AI together on your real work — a customer email, a pile of paperwork, a job posting, whatever your week looks like. You leave with your own AI account set up, the confidence to use it, and a personal cheat sheet of go-to prompts written for your business. No overwhelm, no sales pitch.
Thinking of selling in the next year or two? Buyers pay more for a business that looks organized and runs smoothly on paper. I'll help you get there: clean documentation, professional reports that showcase your numbers and operations, and organized systems that make due diligence painless. Your business, presented the way buyers want to see it.
Need something built? Websites, workflows, training for your team, or a tool made just for how you work. Tell me the problem — I'll quote the project.
When I see something that isn't working, I fix it. A few things I've created:
A reselling app that tells you whether an item will actually make money before you buy it. Born from helping my son chip away at student debt through reselling — and refusing to buy inventory that would never sell.
A project reimagining shared living, shaped by conversations with people — so many of them women — facing housing insecurity after job loss. When I see a problem this big, I can't look away.
Because building things that solve real problems is what I do — in corporate, at home, and everywhere in between.
Who you'll be working with
I spent two decades in corporate roles spanning marketing, technology solutions, and application leadership. I built practical, ready-to-use solutions for teams across my organization — document systems, process workflows, and tools that solved real work problems, not theoretical ones.
Most recently, I led three teams supporting the applications my organization depended on most — Salesforce, Microsoft 365, and more than 50 other business-critical systems. When something important broke, my teams were the ones who fixed it.
But here's the part I'm proudest of: I trained an entire organization to switch to a completely new way of storing and finding their files. Most of them didn't want to learn it. So I made it fun, made it relevant, and connected it to the problems they actually complained about. That's my specialty: teaching technology to people who never wanted to learn it, especially folks who know they have to but dread every minute.
If that's you or your team, we'll get along just fine. And if you'd rather meet from your own desk — I do most of my sessions over Zoom.
There's one way to find out — and it starts with a free conversation. Whether you're just curious, getting ready to sell, or need something built, tell me where you are and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
