I help owners get their time back now, and get the most for the business later: AI-run operations for the running, exit readiness for the selling, handing down, or winding down.
For owner-run businesses in Clark County and the Portland metro: trades and services, shops and restaurants, professional practices, security, events, and the ones nobody else wants to touch. Especially owners who can see the end from here and haven't told anyone yet.
No prices, no pitch deck. You answer, I give you the honest shape of the work, and if it sounds right you send it to me with one tap.
Every engagement starts small: an audit or a one-session plan so the first step is modest and the next one is informed. The work is the same whether you're staying for twenty years or leaving in two: a business that doesn't need you in the room is worth more to you now and to a buyer later.
A fixed-scope sprint that takes two or three processes off your plate and leaves a documented system behind: lead intake and follow-up, quoting, scheduling, reviews, bookkeeping handoffs, hiring paperwork, the weekly reports. Then, if you want it, I keep the systems running on a retainer.
Most owners find out what their business is worth the week they try to sell it. The work is to find out one to three years earlier, fix what a buyer will flag, and tell the story so the business sells for what it should.
Passing the business to a child, a manager, or an employee group is a different project from selling it to a stranger, and it goes wrong for different reasons: the successor was never run through the decisions, the owner never wrote them down.
Some businesses shouldn't be sold; they should be ended well. There is still money in it (equipment, customer lists, a lease, a name) and there is still a way to do it that protects you.
A productized version of the first step for owners who want the plan without the engagement: a structured interview about your business, then a written AI-integration and automation blueprint, step by step, with a presentation you can hand to your team. Ask about it in the quiz or the form.
As general manager: Google Ads brought in-house across four campaigns, monthly marketing spend cut from $4,000–5,000 to $1,500 while the business grew, and scripts and agents that give back an estimated 50–85 hours a month in print prep, creative, lead routing, and follow-up. The build log on my hiring page shows exactly what runs and what breaks.
Built an inbound engine producing hundreds of daily visitors with no ad budget, in a regulated category. Delivered a 500-unit launch on time after the overseas factory collapsed four weeks out. Seven B2B partnerships closed.
Independent practice across tech, agriculture, cannabis, food, and consumer goods, plus two businesses of my own started and one sold. I know what the wind-down paperwork looks like from the inside.
The automation behind these is documented, with what breaks, in the build log.
Because the right first step is different for a shop with two employees and a practice with twenty, and a menu makes people buy the wrong thing. The quiz gets you to the shape of the work; the call gets you to a number. Every scope is written and priced before anything starts.
Because the things that raise the price take one to three years: documented processes, clean books, a business that produces the same result when you're on vacation. Owners who start the week they decide to sell get the buyer's price. Owners who start early get their own.
No. I get a business ready to sell and build the package that markets it. When it's time to transact, especially if real estate is involved, a licensed broker, your CPA, and an attorney handle the deal. I'll introduce them and stay in the room.
Not a chatbot on your website. It means the lead that comes in at 9 PM gets a reply and a booking link without you; quotes go out the same day from a template that knows your prices; reviews get asked for and answered; the weekly numbers land in your inbox. Built into the tools you already use, written down so a new hire can run it.
A paid, productized version of the first step. I interview you about the business, then deliver a written AI-integration and automation blueprint, step by step, with a presentation for your team. It's for owners who want the plan and will run it themselves. Ask about it in the quiz or the form.
Probably. Automotive, cannabis, food and catering, real estate, events, security, consumer goods, agriculture, and the regulated categories most consultants decline. If it's legal and honest, let's talk.
Yes, and I'd rather you heard it from me. Every system I build is designed to keep running without me, which is the whole point, so a change on my side doesn't stop yours.
