With over 18 years of experience across industries as far-ranging and disparate as aircraft maintenance, ecommerce fulfillment, oil and gas, immigration law, healthcare, and education, among others, am proud to be entering a fifth year as a one-hundred-percent, location-independent consultant. I endeavor to continue to LEARN HARD and WORK HARDER! I have led multiple global organizations that range in size from 50 to 300 personnel and specialize in e-tail, e-commerce, and retail migration. I also have a 'traditional' logistics skillset, especially when it comes to aircraft operations, airframe logistics, project management, inventory control, and continuous process improvement. Bottom-line is that I produce high-quality work on time, on cost, and on spec and which is backed by not one, but TWO Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certifications (USAF and GE). I have a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Area Studies with a minor in Russian and general engineering as well as a Master of Science in Logistics Management. I completed all coursework for my MBA at Strathclyde Business School in Scotland in September 2019. I am a bibliophile and runner that is passionate about leadership, learning, management, think tanks, writing, politics, and current events. Thank you in advance for your time.

I find what's actually slowing your business down, then build the system that fixes it. Most businesses I work with aren't struggling because they lack effort or ideas. They're struggling because the right operational infrastructure isn't in place, and nobody has taken the time to properly diagnose the problem before throwing tools at it. That's what I do. I come in, diagnose the real friction, and build AI-powered systems and workflows that actually get implemented and used. Not just designed and handed over. What that looks like in practice: > AI content and marketing workflow systems — from strategy through full implementation > Operational infrastructure buildouts — SOPs, process design, team systems > E-commerce operations and Amazon marketplace strategy > Support infrastructure — knowledge bases, AI chatbot implementation, CS workflows > Diagnostic engagements — identify the friction, map the fix, build the roadmap I've done this across e-commerce, IoT, digital marketing, and video production — always with the same approach. Right now I'm building AI-powered content and operational systems live inside a $12M e-commerce brand, and turning that into a repeatable model through my venture studio. I work best with established SMBs in the $1M–$20M range who are serious about building real systems, and not just looking for someone to execute a task list. If you need someone to think through the problem with you and then actually build the solution, that's exactly what I do. A note on fit: I take on a limited number of engagements at a time. If your business is the right match, I'll tell you directly, and if it's not, I'll tell you that too.
