From Army veteran to Fractional Chief AI Officer.
I embed as a fractional AI executive inside growing companies — owning the strategy, evaluating the tools, and making sure every automation dollar drives measurable ROI. Founder of AutomateNexus, author of The AI Automation Field Manual.
Most AI initiatives fail because they're treated as experiments, not operations. I treat them as missions.
Big consulting firms quote 18‑month implementations and seven-figure retainers. Tech vendors push tools without strategy. Both leave SMBs paying enterprise prices for theater — not outcomes.
I built AutomateNexus to give growing businesses enterprise-grade automation with ROI in 90 days. But after 100+ implementations, I saw the same pattern: companies that succeeded had senior AI leadership. Companies that didn't were buying tools without a strategy.
That's why I now serve as a Fractional Chief AI Officer — embedding directly into leadership teams to own the AI strategy, evaluate every vendor and tool decision, and make sure implementation drives real revenue. The agency handles execution. I handle the thinking.
