AI Consultant for Small & Mid-Size Businesses
Most AI consultants sell advice. I build the solution.
You know AI matters—you just don’t know where to start. I’ve spent 30 years helping businesses move first on new technology. I find what’s costing you time and money, and I build the AI solution that eliminates it—custom to your operation, not pulled off a shelf.
The Problem
You Know AI Matters. So Why Haven’t You Moved?
It’s not because you don’t care. It’s because the market has made it nearly impossible to take the first step with confidence.
The Noise
Everyone with a LinkedIn account is an AI expert now. Vendors pitch chatbots. Gurus sell courses. Tools launch daily. The signal-to-noise ratio is brutal—and the cost of choosing wrong isn’t just money. It’s months you don’t get back.
The Strategy Trap
Maybe you’ve talked to a consultant already. They audited your workflows, handed you a deck, and disappeared. You have a PDF nobody opened and the same problems you started with. Strategy without execution is just billable hours.
The Clock
While you sort through the noise, your competitors are implementing. I’ve watched this pattern play out three times—with the web in ’96, mobile in 2008, and digital advertising in between. The businesses that moved first won. The rest spent years catching up.
The Track Record
I’ve Seen This Moment Three Times Before
Every major technology shift follows the same pattern—new opportunity, widespread skepticism, and a short window where early movers capture the market. I’ve been on the right side of that window every time.
The Web
In 1996, I helped build the first official athletic websites in college sports—turning six CD-ROM partnerships into 200+ collegiate properties. Then I created the first paid streaming subscription in NCAA history, leading to a $5M+ licensing deal and an acquisition by CBS.
Mobile
At Ringier Studios, I pitched CMOs at Disney, Marriott, and more on why their brands needed to live inside apps. The skepticism sounded familiar. So did the outcome—mobile became the standard everyone hesitated to adopt, and the company was acquired.
AI
Now I build AI-powered platforms myself—ZipPicks and Bay Area Service Hub—because the best way to advise on AI is to be in the trenches building with it every day. That hands-on instinct is what I bring to every client.

AEO & Website Development
AI Sends Customers Your Way. Your Website Decides If They Convert.
Specializing in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) & Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
If your site runs on bloated code, loads in four seconds, and doesn’t show up in AI search results, it’s working against everything else you’re building. I create high-performance websites engineered for Google and AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini—utilizing AEO strategies so when AI sends someone your way, your site closes the deal.
Every Technology Shift Has a Window. This One Is Open Now.
I’ve helped businesses move first three times—on the web, on mobile, and now on AI. If you’re a business owner who knows AI matters but isn’t sure where to start, let’s talk. No pitch. No deck. Just an honest conversation about where you stand and what’s possible.
