I Recognize the Signal
In the mid-1990s, I was doing outside sales for an ISP. I believed the internet was going to change everything. Most people weren't there yet. That was fine — I kept building, kept showing up, kept making the case.
One conversation stands out. I told a CEO that within five years, having an online presence would be table stakes. He passed. His kids didn't. They took over, implemented the recommendations I'd made, and the business thrived because the next generation moved on what was already in front of them.
I've been early to every major technology shift of the last three decades. The internet. SEO before it had a name. Social media as a business channel. Technical sales and IT infrastructure.
Now it's AI. I recognized the signal in 2024 the same way I recognized it in '95 — not because I'm smarter than anyone, but because I've been paying attention to these shifts for 25 years. When you've seen the pattern enough times, you stop second-guessing it.
25 Years in Technology. All Applied.
I've spent over 25 years across website development, SEO, marketing, social media management, domain strategy, and the last decade in technical sales and IT. I did a year of college, realized I learn better by building, and never looked back.
Over the course of my career, I built enough applied knowledge to work across disciplines — enough to solve problems, enough to talk with engineers, enough to scope what's technically feasible before anyone writes a line of code.
That cross-functional depth is what makes the work I do now possible. AI automation isn't just a technical discipline. It requires understanding operations, communication, business logic, and the way real teams actually work.
The Decision
When my employer went through its final restructuring, I had a choice: relocate or take the severance and build what I'd already been designing in my head.
I was in a strong financial position — zero debt, no payments, years of discipline. I wasn't reacting to a crisis. I was acting on conviction.
So I went all in. Courses from Vanderbilt, Michigan, Google — completing 3-to-6-month programs in under a week. Eight, ten, fourteen hours a day. Eat, sleep, learn, repeat. Over 30 certifications, every lesson applied to real businesses — not hypothetical scenarios, but the companies I was actively building.
Why This Is Personal
AI gave me the ability to match my output to my thinking for the first time in my life.
I've always had strong ideas and clear instincts for how things should work. The bottleneck was never the thinking — it was the mechanics of getting what's in my head into polished form at a pace that matched my standards.
My process now: brain dump, iterate, polish, publish. What comes out is material I'm proud of — true to what I want to say, refined to a level that used to take extraordinary time and effort.
That's not a productivity hack. That's capability amplification. And if it can do that for me, it can do that for anyone willing to put in the work.
