Put AI to work. Keep your data at home.

Practical IT and AI for small and mid-sized businesses around Mount Clemens, from someone who has spent a career building systems where security was never optional.

AI that runs in accounts you own. Your client data never feeds a public chatbot.

Most teams are already using AI. The question is where the data goes.

Free chatbots are convenient, and whatever gets pasted into them leaves your hands. A secure AI setup gives your staff tools that are just as useful, without client records, financials or designs ending up somewhere you can't get them back from.

  • Runs in accounts you own

    Set up in your own business accounts and fully documented. I don't host your data, so you're never locked in.

  • Fits the rules you follow

    Matched to the framework you answer to, whether that's HIPAA, PCI DSS, the FTC Safeguards Rule or CMMC.

  • A policy people will follow

    Plain-English guidelines and a short training session, so the safe way is also the easy way.

Enterprise experience, sized for your office.

Two decades across banking, manufacturing and software teach you what holds up under pressure and what doesn't. You get that judgment without the enterprise overhead.

Networks that stay up
Designed and ran networks for operations where an outage stops the business.
Security built in, not bolted on
Years in heavily regulated environments, where audits and access control are part of the daily routine.
Cloud and automation
Cloud platforms and automation that take repetitive work, and the mistakes that come with it, off people's plates.
Tech, translated
Equally at home with engineers, the shop floor and the owner's office, and able to explain it to all three.

How working together goes.

The same path whether it's one office network or a company-wide AI rollout.

  1. Discovery call

    We talk through what's working, what isn't and what you want to get done.

  2. Assessment

    I review your setup, your risks and the requirements your industry puts on you.

  3. Plan

    You get a written plan with priorities and costs, in plain English.

  4. Build

    I implement, test and document everything in your own accounts.

  5. Support

    Ongoing help, monitoring and training as your business changes.

Built for businesses that run on trust.

Firms that hold sensitive information and can't afford a week of downtime. For example:

  • Accounting, tax & financial services
  • Manufacturers & suppliers
  • Legal & professional services
  • Medical & dental offices
  • Software & tech companies
  • Trades, contractors & local retail
