20+ years in sales taught me how businesses actually work. Now I run small media companies where AI agents do the daily work: watching flight deals, drafting newsletters, shipping alerts. I make the calls that matter.

Every agent works an approval queue. Nothing ships without a human yes.
A Portland flight deals business where agents watch fares, draft the posts, and queue the ads. I approve over coffee.
Camping alerts for national park families. FastAPI backend, and an agent named Hermes running daily operations from a Mac mini in my office.
Grew a local events newsletter to 11,000 subscribers across 34 editions, then made the operator call to shut it down. Postmortem in the build log.
A premium fashion brand for breast cancer survivors who choose to go flat. Built with my wife.
People buy from people. Twenty-plus years of quota taught me that, and it is exactly why the agents work: they do the chores, I do the judgment. If you need someone who can build the system AND sell it, that combo is rarer than it should be. Say hi.
Not everything I build has a business model. On purpose.
A progression fantasy novel where the Roman Empire meets a dungeon crawl. First person, 31 chapters mapped, one narrator who doesn't know what he's in. The system notifications are written as bureaucratic Roman decrees, because institutional indifference is funnier in Latin.
A dice roguelike where Farkle meets Balatro. Restarted from scratch in July, because the first two prototypes existed to teach me what this one already knows.
A tiny car driven by our actual pet rat. My daughter and I are building it together. She handles engineering, the rat handles steering, I handle parts and liability. Easily the most important project on this page.
