Southern Pines, NC

Your business has been running for years. Your technology should be working just as hard.

I help businesses in the Sandhills region get their technology working for them — not the other way around. Whether you need a professional email address or a full technology strategy, it starts with understanding your business.

Let's Have a Conversation How I Help

Sound Familiar?

Technology should make your business easier. Too often, it doesn't.

You didn't build your business around technology. But somewhere along the way, the tools you use — or don't use — started holding you back.

“I keep missing calls — and every missed call is a lost customer.”

You're on a job site, in a meeting, or it's after 5 PM. The phone rings, nobody answers, and the customer calls the next name on Google. Service businesses lose tens of thousands a year to unanswered calls. There are simple, affordable fixes — but picking the right one for your business matters.

“We're running the business on spreadsheets, text messages, and memory.”

Customer records in filing cabinets. Scheduling on a whiteboard. Invoices that take a week to go out. Your team works hard, but half their time goes to things a good system would handle automatically. You know you need to modernize — you just don't know where to start or who to trust.

“I know we're probably vulnerable, but I don't know how bad it is.”

You handle customer credit cards, home addresses, and financial information. One phishing email, one weak password, one employee clicking the wrong link — and 60% of small businesses that suffer a breach shut down within six months. You don't need an enterprise security program. You need someone who knows what actually matters for a business your size.

What’s a CTO?

Every big company has a Chief Technology Officer. Your business deserves one too.

A CTO is the person whose whole job is making sure the technology works, stays secure, and actually helps the business grow. Most small businesses can’t justify a six-figure salary for that role — but the problems don’t go away just because you’re smaller. I’ll be your CTO, for a fraction of the cost.

How It Works

Simple, straightforward, no surprises

Every engagement starts with understanding your business — how it actually runs, not how a textbook says it should.

We have a conversation

30 minutes, face to face if possible. You tell me what's going on with your business. I listen. No pitch, no pressure. You'll walk away with at least one thing you can act on.

I figure out what helps most

Sometimes it's a $50/month email and website. Sometimes it's a full technology overhaul. I'll tell you honestly which one you need — and if I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you that too.

I set it up. It just works.

You don't configure anything. I build your system, get it running, and make sure it works. You focus on your business. I handle the tech.

Ways to Work Together

From a professional email to a full technology strategy

Most people start small. Some need more. Every engagement starts with understanding your problem, and everything is on the services page with clear prices.

About

Jon

I live in Southern Pines, where I serve as a deacon at my local Baptist church. If something breaks, you can call me — not a help desk in another time zone.

I build things. Nine products shipped as a solo developer, seven servers running 98 containers in production, and 20 years of Army leadership across infantry, Special Forces, and cyberspace warfare. West Point graduate. Naval Postgraduate School MS. OSCP-certified penetration tester and Synack Red Team member.

The Sandhills region — 35 miles from Fort Bragg, an hour from the Research Triangle — is where I work and where I'm invested.
