From Sawdust to Servers
and Everything In Between
A content strategist, AI integrator, and IT problem-solver built out of construction grit, hospitality experience, and a relentless drive for results.
A non-traditional path that blends technical skill, creative storytelling, and a practical understanding of how businesses grow.
Born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, I grew up around construction sites and church events. My father taught me how to build with my hands, and my mother taught me how to make people feel welcome. Those two lessons still shape how I work.
My twenties were spent fixing things — carpentry, manufacturing systems, CNC machines, and behind-the-scenes technology. I followed that toward a degree in Information Technology and a career built on solving problems for people who needed dependable, straightforward results.
My path includes hard lessons and unlikely wins. A period away from the mainstream gave me clarity. I returned with a commitment to work that is honest, useful, and built to last.
Today, I serve clients across tourism, wellness, manufacturing, and technology. I build content that ranks, systems that scale, and AI workflows that actually help teams move faster without sacrificing quality.
What I do best, and how I deliver it.
