BASED IN
Cincinnati, OH
I've spent 29 years building creative systems at the intersection of design and technology. I run Creative Bushel, a web design and development agency, and I've shipped AI-driven products, content platforms, and enterprise solutions for clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500s.
Now I help creative leaders navigate AI adoption, not with hype or fear, but with operational clarity and real-world implementation experience.
Based in Cincinnati, OH, I'm actively involved in the local AI community, including helping with the initial kickoff of Cincy AI for Humans, the largest AI community group in the state.
CORE_THESIS // DECISION VELOCITY
The teams that win aren't the ones with the best AI tools.
They're the ones that decide faster.
Most creative teams are stuck. Not because AI is confusing, but because no one has drawn a line from “this tool exists” to “this is how we use it.”
They're drowning in possibilities, paralyzed by pilot programs, and watching competitors ship while they debate which model to use.
I help teams cut through the noise, make real decisions, and build systems that actually work in production.
