A career shaped by curiosity

From working as a software engineer on Trident ballistic missile submarine computer systems to web development, digital marketing, website analytics, and applied AI, my career has always been interesting—a continual quest to learn and apply new technology across business and personal applications.

Over the years, I’ve worked with organizations including Sperry Rand Corporation, Analysis & Technology, Inc., Princess House, A.T. Cross, Ross-Simons, Suncor Stainless, and Homes For Our Troops. That range of experience has taught me to look at digital work as a connected system rather than a collection of isolated channels.

More recently, I’ve focused on the practical use of artificial intelligence. I’m exploring how AI agents, custom assistants, automation, and better workflows can support marketing teams and small businesses without adding unnecessary complexity.

I believe effective digital marketing should be data-driven, user-focused, and practical.

Traffic and clicks only matter when they contribute to a useful experience and a meaningful organizational goal. I enjoy moving between strategy and execution: developing a plan, interpreting performance data, investigating an SEO problem, improving a website, refining a campaign, or working directly with the technology behind the marketing.

I bring the same perspective to AI. The goal is to determine where it can improve research, analysis, communication, content development, automation, and decision-making.

I’m building Practical AI Flows as a small-business AI consulting practice focused on useful, approachable applications of artificial intelligence.

The work includes custom AI assistants, workflow automation, research and planning systems, dashboards, and educational guides. It is an ongoing exploration of how small businesses can reduce repetitive work and introduce AI into their existing operations thoughtfully.
