25+ Years Turning Technology Into Real-World Results

I’ve spent over 25 years helping organizations across agriculture, finance, technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and retail turn technology into a real advantage. My time at companies like Monsanto and Bayer showed me how large enterprises streamline operations, eliminate waste, and scale with efficiency.

Now, I bring that same expertise to small and midsized businesses—helping local teams harness automation, AI, and smarter tools to work faster and grow stronger.

About Me

For 17 years at US Netcom / One Call Now, I worked with schools, churches, and local offices to deliver simple, reliable tech solutions that kept communities connected and operations running smoothly.

I grew up in a small town, so I understand what it means to juggle payroll, customer needs, and constant tech change—all while keeping your values intact. My approach is straightforward: listen first, focus on what matters, and build relationships that last.

Today, I help small and midsized businesses cut through tech overwhelm and turn digital tools into practical results—rooted in hard work, integrity, and real connection.
