Optimist - Entrepreneur - Philanthropist

A working partner to AI, not a user of it. I architect multi-agent environments where Claude does meaningful work across my portfolio — ministries, businesses, personal infrastructure — and coach the agents the way a senior manager coaches a team: ethics first, scope tight, decisions documented.

Current Projects

Current, running, in revenue motion.

Two agents, not ten. I built the larger multi-agent version first, then deliberately settled on two — one for the for-profit portfolio, one for the nonprofit work — each isolated by credentials, workspace, mailbox and scope. Neither reaches into the other's domain. Fewer agents is the point: more of them meant more drift between them, and two keeps one synchronized working environment instead of several that quietly diverge.

Each agent is designed to be a PM — a Project Manager, not an assistant waiting for instructions. It runs the list, keeps me on task, and holds the detail that technical work demands. It is a second brain with the technical skills sitting alongside it. Since my brain injury, that is not a convenience — it is the part that makes the work possible at all.

What Makes It Unusual

The mechanics, not the marketing.

How I Coach Agents

A team, not a tool. I call each agent a PM — a Project Manager — and I manage them the way I'd manage people.

"Might I suggest we stick to revenue-generating tasks? I'll be happy to put that on the to-do list at a lower priority."

Verbatim line for revenue drift — agents repeat it when conversations wander off income work.

"If a login form is prefilled with an unexpected identity — STOP."

Verbatim line for security stops. Codified after a single incident; not repeated since.

Background

The short version.

10+ years thinking about AI before the tools were widely available. I used to fear the rise of AI — before I needed it. I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury a couple of years ago that took away so much of my tech and sales ability, specifically in the "attention to detail" department. The agent environment is partly memory prosthesis, partly force multiplier, partly an experiment in whether AI can carry real operational weight for a small operator running a portfolio.

It can.

Working with me

Open to short contracts.

I'm not a coach and I don't sell a program. I ran an independent IT consulting business for nineteen years, supporting over a hundred small businesses single-handedly. What I do now isn't the same work — it's much more of the work I actually want to do, with AI-enhanced skills and assistance behind it. I set up AI systems that keep working after I log off.

The problem most owners run into isn't that AI can't do the work. It's that every session starts over. You explain your business again. You re-establish the rules again. You re-teach it what it already learned last week. Another tutorial doesn't fix that, and you're not big enough to hire someone full-time to sit on it.

That's the gap I build across: persistent context, documented procedure, real guardrails, and recovery when something breaks — so the system remembers your business instead of meeting it fresh every morning.

$150/hour. Short contracts, worked live over Zoom. You keep your own AI account; I build what sits inside it.

What I sell is the method, not a shelf of finished products.

My own book needed a reader app that didn't exist — illustrated pages with audiobook narration synced to them, page by page. So I had one built, using skills I did not possess, in weeks of part-time effort instead of the months and the budget that road normally costs. It's live on Google Play, two more apps are behind it, and I hired no developers. That same build is now being turned into something other publishers can use for their own titles.

If you've ever wondered how someone like you gets their own app built, that's exactly the kind of question I take the mystery out of.

We build it together, in your environment, so you understand what it does and why. When we're done you own it — including the parts that let you extend it yourself.
