Operational & growth advising

I help founders build what scales past them.

I scaled Somewhere.com from $150K to $1.78M a month as COO, then we sold it for $52M. Now I work with a handful of founders each quarter on the systems that get them to the next stage.

Track record

The playbook that traveled.

I joined Somewhere.com as COO at $150K a month. Built the systems, hired the team, codified the playbook. Left at $1.78M a month. The company sold for $52M — work I can show you, not work you take on faith.

Who you'd work with

An operator in the room — not a consultant with a deck.

I joined Somewhere.com at $150,000 a month and walked away from a $52M exit two years later. What closed that gap wasn't strategy decks — it was systems. Repeatable, AI-leveraged, offshore-extended systems that made every dollar of revenue cheaper to produce than the one before it.

Most consulting fails because consultants don't operate. I do. Every framework I'd hand you is one I'm running on something of my own this week.

Balanced Company is intentionally small — two to three founders a quarter. Engagements are scoped to deliver measurable change inside ninety days. If we're not a fit, I'll tell you on the first call.

How it works

Four moves, in order.

See what's actually true

Before we change anything, I build a complete picture of your operation — revenue mechanics, team, systems, where time and margin leak. No assumptions, no generic audit template.

Find the binding constraint

Most businesses are held back by one or two things, not twenty. We name the constraint actually capping growth and sequence everything else behind it.

Build the system to remove it

We deploy the fix — AI-leveraged workflows, offshore leverage, the operating cadence — and I stay hands-on until it runs without me in the loop.

Hand you the keys

You keep the systems and the team to run them. The goal isn't dependence on me — it's an operation that compounds after I'm gone.

Engagements

Three ways to work together.

Pick the one that matches the stage you're in. Every engagement starts with the same first call.

Mode A · Fixed scope

Audit & Roadmap

A 30-day deep dive into your operations, team, and systems. You walk away with a prioritized roadmap of what to fix, automate, delegate, or kill — and the sequence to do it.

From $15,0004 weeks

Mode B · Retainer

Fractional Advisor

Monthly engagement. Weekly calls, Slack access, hands on the hard problems. A fractional COO with an AI-native lens — in the room when you need one, out of the way when you don't.

From $8,000/mo3-mo min

Mode C · Project

Embedded Build

Project-based. We deploy AI systems into your operations — SOP generation, workflow automation, customer ops, freight and compliance where it fits. You keep the systems.

From $25,000Scoped

Why founders pick this

An advisor who still ships.

You work with me, directly

No account manager, no rotating juniors. The person who scaled Somewhere is the person in your engagement.

I operate what I recommend

Eight companies in market right now. Every framework I'd give you is one I'm running on my own businesses.

AI-native, not AI-curious

I was building AI-leveraged workflows before it was a category. It's the core of how I find leverage in an operation.

Built to make me unnecessary

The engagement succeeds when your operation runs without me. No manufactured dependence, no endless retainer.

Begin a conversation

Tell me about where you are.

The form is short on purpose. I read every submission myself, usually within a business day, and reply personally to the ones I think I can help.

If we're a fit, the next step is a 30-minute call about your business in concrete terms — what's working, what's stuck, what changes if you remove the constraint bothering you most.

→ Read by me directly. No assistant, no pipeline.

→ Response within one business day.

→ No mailing list, no nurture sequence.

→ If we're not a fit, I'll say so.
