U.S. Navy Veteran
Building leverage through systems and AI.
Founder. Author. Veteran. Turning experience into recurring revenue.
I build businesses that run on systems, not hustle. Reputation management, publishing, gaming, and small business directories — each one a revenue stream engineered to work while I sleep. No fluff. No get-rich-quick. Just real systems and real execution.

What I'm Building
The Platform I Build On
Home Business Academy
The all-in-one platform I run my online businesses on - websites, funnels, email, community, and training under one roof, with a support team that actually answers. It is where I build websites for local businesses, and where my own sites live. The done-for-you Turnkey entry is $25, the training walks you step by step, and when you are ready for more marketing horsepower, the higher tiers unlock it. This is my focus going forward - everything else I build sits on top of it.
LetsGoal is the companion daily-action app ($10/mo, 80% commissions) that keeps you moving - optional, but it turns training into daily progress.

Local Advertising
SOS Boards
Get seen where your neighbors already are
Community bulletin boards inside the places Pleasanton already gathers - restaurants and local businesses. A handful of local sponsors share each board, so your ad is seen every day by the people who live, eat, and shop right here in town.
Boards are up now at Cafe Chris, The Office, and Los Gallos Jalisco, and a companion mailer card carries the same local offers into 2,500 Pleasanton homes. A simple idea, done the old-fashioned way: put local businesses in front of their neighbors, every single day.
The mailer card takes the same idea to the mailbox. One big card covered with offers from local businesses, mailed to 2,500 homes around Pleasanton. Every advertiser gets their own spot on the card - their offer, their phone number, their QR code - in front of families at the kitchen table.

Reputation Management
Get Found. Get Chosen.
Get more 5-star Google reviews - and the calls that come with them
When somebody searches for what you do, the business with the most 5-star reviews gets the call. SOS Bots installs a done-for-you review system on your Google Business Profile: every customer is asked at the right moment, happy reviews go public automatically, and an unhappy customer reaches you privately first - before they ever reach Google.
Set up in 48 hours, and you don't lift a finger. Reviews and posts cross-post to Facebook and Instagram, a monthly report shows exactly what it produced, and it's covered by a 30-day full refund guarantee.
Before you decide anything, run the calculator on the page: punch in the calls you're missing and see what they're costing you every year. That number usually ends the argument.
Side Project
Konflikt
Russian backgammon, reinvented
A round-board take on backgammon. In development with plans for online multiplayer. For board game enthusiasts who want something different.
konfliktgame.com is your hub for everything Konflikt — learn the complete rules, study strategy guides, explore the history of Russian Backgammon variants, and access a DIY page with plans to build your own board for tabletop play.
You're staring at a round board that doesn't care about your lead. Your pieces are almost home, your opponent is stuck in the PIT, and the dice say you've got this wrapped up. Then one roll changes everything.
One hit. One piece sent to the PIT. One doubles roll that hands your opponent 28 points and a bonus turn. And suddenly that comfortable lead you built over the last fifteen moves? Gone. Because in Konflikt, every piece moves in the same direction — which means the player who's behind is chasing you on the exact same path. There's no running out the clock. There's no hiding. You're both on the same road, and the PIT just put them back at the start with momentum.
That's the Russian Backgammon DNA: no pip count is safe, no lead is final, and no game is decided until the last piece is borne off. The round board makes it worse — or better, depending on which side of the hit you're on. The central PIT isn't just a penalty zone. It's a launch pad. Every piece that gets sent there comes back with one job: run you down.

And in Konflikt, they can. Fast. Doubles don't just move you forward — they detonate. Twenty-eight points plus a bonus roll means the player who was losing five seconds ago is now on your six, bearing off while you're still trying to recover from the last hit.
So you adapt. You build walls that might not hold. You leave blots you can't avoid. You calculate risk on a board that punishes certainty and rewards patience. You play like you're behind even when you're winning, because in Konflikt, being ahead just means you have more to lose.
You win by surviving the swings. By taking the hit and coming back harder. By being the player who still has a plan when everything goes sideways.
"Ya Neva' Give Up" isn't a tagline. It's the only strategy that works.

My mission is simple: generate strong cash flow, pay off debt, and create multiple income streams for a debt-free, location-independent lifestyle. No fluff. No get-rich-quick.
