Get your team actually good at AI.

Two ways I help: hands-on AI training for your team, or done-for-you AI implementation for local businesses. Practical, safe, built around your real work. Led by a former Marine officer and AI practitioner.

No pitch, no slide deck. Tell me what your team is working on — I'll tell you where AI fits or whether it doesn't yet.

Common questions

What do you actually offer?

Two things. AI training for teams (workshops, coaching, advisory), and done-for-you AI implementation for local businesses (review management, review generation, and Google Business Profile, set up and run for you monthly).

What does the done-for-you implementation include?

Managed AI for local businesses: I respond to your Google reviews in your voice, run review-generation campaigns, and manage your Google Business Profile. From $150/mo, month to month, cancel anytime. See implementation services →

What kind of AI training do you offer?

Team workshops from $3,500 (half-day) or $6,000 (full day), 1:1 coaching at $250/session, and an advisory retainer from $500/mo. Practical, no jargon, built around your actual work. Most teams leave with working prompts the same day.

Do I need technical skills?

No. All training is designed for non-technical teams. We use the tools you already have and build around your real workflows.

Can you work with teams outside Raleigh-Durham?

Yes. Most of my work is remote, across the US. In-person workshops are available in the Triangle NC area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Pittsboro) and by arrangement elsewhere.

What if I'm not sure what I need yet?
