About

Most AI consultants talk about AI. I build it - and I help executives do the same. Through WiscAI, I work with senior leadership to turn AI confusion into boardroom confidence. Not frameworks borrowed from McKinsey decks. Practical strategy built from actually shipping - whether that's customer-facing apps, internal workflows, or automation that quietly saves your team 20 hours a week. We've launched AI products across marketing, finance, sports performance, healthcare, and faith. We've also built the internal systems that most companies never see: marketing service automation, AI-assisted accounting tools, content engines. That's where my advice comes from - not theory, but build cycles. For organizations, I focus on three things: policy that unblocks teams instead of paralyzing them, coaching that makes executives dangerous (in a good way), and deployment tied to business outcomes - not innovation theater, but not paralysis either. Based in Madison. Building what's next. The best time to start was last year. The second best is now.

WiscAI helps organizations harness AI to solve real business problems - not as a tech initiative, but as a strategic business imperative. Too often, AI gets pushed to the CTO or innovation lab, while business leaders are left unsure how to move forward. We close that gap by working directly with senior leadership to create a clear, practical path rooted in day-to-day business needs. Our model is built around three tangible pillars - each designed to be board-ready and action-oriented: 1)AI Policy That Enables Action Many companies already have policies, but few ensure they’re understood or applied where work actually happens. We help business leaders design and communicate practical, empowering guardrails that support innovation, protect the organization, and remove ambiguity for teams. 2)Executive & Team Education That Builds Confidence We begin with senior leadership and extend to core business functions. Through hands-on learning and real-world examples, we help teams understand the fundamentals of generative AI, build confidence, and think clearly about where and how to apply it. 3)Deployment That Solves Real Problems We guide business units - not just IT - in identifying high-impact, low-friction use cases. From marketing and operations to HR and customer service, we help you implement AI solutions that reduce friction, unlock capacity, and align with strategic priorities. WiscAI exists to make AI accessible, actionable, and aligned with business reality-not hype. If you’re navigating AI at the business level and looking for a trusted framework to move forward with clarity, I’d welcome the conversation.
