The Challenge
Most mid-market companies know AI matters, but they don’t have an AI strategy.
You’ve seen the demos. Your competitors are talking about AI wins on LinkedIn. Your board is asking questions. According to RSM’s 2025 AI Survey, 91% of middle market companies are now using generative AI, but 53% feel only “somewhat prepared.” When you look at your options, you’re stuck between three bad choices:
Enterprise consulting firms that charge $50K for a strategy deck and disappear before anything gets built.
Junior freelancers who can prompt ChatGPT but can’t connect AI to your actual business outcomes.
Doing nothing and hoping the AI wave passes. (It won’t.)
There’s a fourth option. Demand for fractional AI leadership surged 68% year-over-year as companies realized they need senior guidance without the full-time gamble. A fractional AI director with 25 years of enterprise experience who doesn’t just advise on AI. He builds it. AI strategy and implementation, personally delivered. No bait-and-switch. No junior associates. No 80-page decks that collect dust.
About
I set the strategy. I lead the build.
After 25+ years leading enterprise technology strategy and selling AI solutions to companies ranging from $10M to Fortune 500, I launched my independent AI advisory practice to work directly with the mid-market companies that need it most.
My background spans pre-sales engineering, solution architecture, and hands-on AI development. I’m not a theorist. I build production-grade AI systems with the same tools I recommend to clients. When you hire me, you get a strategist who can walk into your boardroom and speak ROI, then walk into your dev environment and ship code.
Based in Michigan and serving clients nationwide, I work with mid-market companies in the $10M–$200M range across every industry. If you need fractional AI leadership without a full-time hire, let’s talk.

FAQ
Common questions about AI consulting
I primarily work with mid-market companies between $10M and $200M in annual revenue. These are companies large enough to benefit from AI strategy but not large enough to justify a full-time AI director or a $500K consulting engagement. I also work with local small businesses on focused AI quick-win engagements.
When you hire me, you get me - 25 years of enterprise technology experience, hands on keyboard, building the solution. There’s no junior staffing bait-and-switch. I deliver working prototypes in 2 weeks, not strategy decks in 3 months. You get a senior AI leader at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire or a traditional consulting engagement.
No. An AI Strategy Assessment starts at $7,500 and delivers a prioritized roadmap with quick wins you can act on immediately. Many companies see ROI within the first 90 days. For local small businesses, AI Quick Win sessions start at $500.
