Several decades in business. Now I install AI workflows.

No fluff. Just the math.

Air Force veteran, former corporate executive, multi-franchise owner, and co-founder of Helium Digital. I install AI workflows inside high-touch local and professional service businesses — operations, automation, and the boring infrastructure that actually moves the numbers.

What I install

AI workflows for local and professional service businesses.

I help dentists, lawyers, contractors, med spas, accountants, real estate brokers — and the agencies that serve them — install the AI workflows that actually save hours and bring in customers. The math matters. The hype doesn't. Here's what's working right now.

100+ Hours saved per month
4 Industries operated
6 Brands under Helium

The fundamentals of business haven't changed. The tools have. If you can name the AI workflow that protects your appointments, you have a pipeline. If you can't, you have hope.
