One advisor who has run the business, done the math, and shipped the software.
Work Smarter Analytics helps small and mid-sized companies make sharper decisions — then hands you the working models, dashboards, and tools to act on them. Not a deck. A thing that runs.
A consultant gives you advice. An analyst gives you a model. A developer gives you software. You usually pay for three relationships — and lose the thread between them. I keep it in one head.
Three decades in senior operating roles, including a decade as a company president. I know the difference between a clean spreadsheet and a real decision, because I've had to make the call and live with it.
Graduate training in business analytics and finance, applied to the questions owners actually ask: What will next quarter look like? Where's the margin leaking? Is this priced right? Should we make this bet?
I don't just recommend the solution — I build it. Custom dashboards, decision models, and full software products that keep working long after the engagement ends. The proof is below: real products, live in production.
Most advisors point to slides. I can point to software running in production — designed, coded, and maintained by one person. That same capability is what I bring to your decisions and your data.
An AI tutor that actually knows your textbook. Upload your course materials and it answers from your sources — office hours, on demand. Built end to end: retrieval engine, AI reasoning, and the full web app. I use it for my own graduate coursework.
Run your league, not your spreadsheets. A full platform for municipal parks & rec departments — scheduling, registration, payments, and team balancing in one place. Built, hosted, and supported solo, and already demoed to local cities.
Founder, Work Smarter Analytics · Northville, MI
I came to analytics from the operator's chair, not a lab. I spent a decade as a radio-station president, running the operation in markets large and small across the country — and I watched the sharpest operators, our toughest competitors included, turn data into a durable edge. That lesson never left me.
So I went and earned the training to do it right — a Bachelor of Business Administration, an MBA, and a Master of Science in Business Analytics, all from The University of Iowa — plus finance certificates in Finance, Financial Decision-Making, and Investment Management, with an MS in Finance underway.
Now I bring the whole stack to small and mid-sized companies: the operating judgment to know which questions matter, the analytics to answer them, and the engineering to ship the tool that acts on the answer — one person, start to finish. That's the entire point of Work Smarter Analytics.
