Whether you need a professional email address or a full technology strategy, every engagement starts with understanding your business — not selling you something you don't need.
I set up the systems that answer your calls, send your quotes, follow up with customers, and get you more 5-star reviews — so you can focus on the work you're actually good at.
No software to learn. No contracts. I set it up. It just works.
You tell me about your business — what you do, how you get customers, what's eating your time. I figure out what will help most.
I build your system — missed call text-back, automatic follow-ups, review requests, whatever you need. You don't configure anything.
Your phone starts catching leads. Your quotes get followed up. Your reviews grow. You check in when you want to, but the system runs on its own.
Less than hiring office help. Way more than doing nothing.
For the contractor who needs to stop looking amateur.
For the contractor who's losing leads and drowning in admin.
For the growing business that needs the works.
+ $100/month management
For the contractor who wants everything on their own hardware in their own shop.

I live in Southern Pines. I'm a deacon at my church. If something breaks, you can call me — not a help desk in another time zone.
20 years in the Army. West Point grad. I spent the last 5 years building and running the same kind of systems I'm setting up for you. I'm also OSCP certified, which means I passed one of the hardest cybersecurity exams in the industry. Your data is safe with me.
Sometimes you just need one thing done right. These are standalone projects — I set it up, hand it over, and you're on your way. No ongoing commitment.
Every project includes setup, configuration, and a walkthrough so you know how it works. Prices are starting points — we'll talk through your specifics and I'll give you a flat quote before any work begins.
Professional email setup
$250
Your own domain, up to 5 addresses, configured so your email actually reaches inboxes. I set it up and hand you the keys. Already included in monthly plans.
Website
$500–$1,500
Clean, mobile-friendly, shows up on Google. One page to full site with online booking. Included in monthly plans with ongoing hosting.
Google Business Profile optimization
$150
Claimed, verified, photos, categories, and service areas set up right. The thing that makes your phone ring from Google Maps.
Scheduling and online booking
$300
Customers book directly from your website or a link you text them. Automatic confirmations and reminders.
CRM setup
$500–$1,000
Stop tracking customers in your head. I'll pick the right tool for your business, set it up, and show you how to use it.
Security checkup
$500
Passwords, payments, customer data, and backups reviewed by someone with actual security credentials (OSCP certified).
Data migration
$500–$2,000
Paper records, filing cabinets, spreadsheets, or an old system moved into something that actually works. Priced by volume.
Custom automation
$250–$500
A specific thing you want to happen automatically — invoice reminders, follow-up sequences, report generation. You describe it, I build it.
Need a few of these? Tell me what you're after and I'll put together a package price. And if you want ongoing management after setup, a monthly plan includes everything here plus hosting, updates, and someone watching over it.

Some businesses need a professional email address. Others are ready for AI agents handling customer inquiries. I meet you where you are and help you get where you want to be.
A business email on your own domain. A website that looks right and shows up on Google. A Google Business Profile that actually works. The basics that make your business look as professional as it is.
Every software salesperson says theirs is the best. I evaluate what actually fits your business, your budget, and your team's ability to use it. Then I set it up and make sure it sticks.
You handle customer data, credit cards, and financial information. I make sure the basics are covered — strong passwords, protected accounts, secure payments, and a plan if something goes wrong. OSCP-certified and Synack Red Team member — I know what attackers look for.
Not the hype. The kind that answers your phone at 2 AM, sends appointment reminders automatically, and turns invoicing from a Sunday-night chore into a same-day process. We'll explore together how AI can expand your business capacity and what the real costs and benefits look like. For businesses ready for the next level, I deploy teams of AI agents that run autonomously on your own hardware using a secure hybrid architecture where your AI never touches your passwords.
The best software in the world is useless if nobody uses it. 20 years of military leadership taught me how to bring people through change — even people who've been doing things the same way for decades.
If the next generation is taking over, they'll want systems that run on data, not tribal knowledge. I help bridge the gap — modernizing operations while respecting what made the business successful in the first place.
For businesses with teams, complexity, and bigger technology decisions. These engagements start with understanding how your operation actually runs.
I come to your business and walk through how things actually work — your operations, your tools, your team's daily workflow. Then I give you a clear, prioritized list of what to fix, in what order, what it costs, and what you'll gain. Plain English, no jargon.
What you get:
Best for: Businesses that know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start. Also excellent for business owners preparing for succession — modernizing operations before the next generation takes over.
Your technology advisor on speed dial. I help you pick the right tools, get them set up properly, train your team, and make sure things actually get used. Monthly check-ins, ongoing support, and someone who understands your business — not just the technology.
What you get:
Best for: Established businesses that need ongoing technology guidance but can't justify a full-time technology hire. Most partnerships run 6–18 months. My goal is to set things up so well that you eventually don't need me — I'm building your capability, not your dependency.
Traditional consultants bill by the hour regardless of results. For the right engagements, I offer performance-based arrangements where part of my compensation is tied directly to the outcomes we achieve together.
This isn't limited to startups or new ventures. If your business has been running for 20 years and the right technology could save you six figures a year in missed calls, wasted time, and manual processes — I'm willing to put my fee where my confidence is.
Typical structures include profit-sharing tied to measurable improvements, performance bonuses based on documented cost savings, or reduced retainers combined with outcome-based compensation. Every arrangement is custom — we figure out what makes sense after an initial assessment, once we both understand the opportunity.
I offer a limited number of these arrangements each year. They begin after a diagnostic phase, once we've built mutual trust and I understand the numbers.
