I build systemsthat turn expertise and AIinto operating capability.

I’m a founder, operator and product leader. Over a decade in hospitality, then three companies built from the first version. Now I build with AI from what I already know, and show what it took.

Building now

What I’m building, and where to find it.

Dial Zero

Open source · personal assistant

A personal assistant you text. It runs on your own Mac, on Claude or OpenAI, keeps your calendar and to-dos straight, and can phone businesses for you. Setup takes about an hour: open it in Claude Code or Codex and type "set me up."

Grapevines

Prep for career coaches

Grapevines does the preparation before each coaching session so a coach can work with more people. Coaches run every session.

grapevines.ai

Little Fables

Custom storybooks

Storybooks written, illustrated and narrated around one child, first made for my son. Claude drafts each story, I read it aloud and edit it, and the family approves the art before anything is printed.

The Operator Economy

Research and episodes

What one person can build and run with AI, kept separate from my own story so the evidence can disagree with me.

MP in the PM

Nightly show

Weeknights on LinkedIn and YouTube. One idea about work and AI in about a minute. Made with an AI version of me, labeled on every episode. The ideas and the final scripts are mine.

Grapevines does the preparation before coaching sessions, so a coach can work with more people. Coaches run every session. I built it solo, end to end.

Little FablesPublic demo

An approved story becomes an illustrated, narrated reader for day and bedtime.

Little Fables turns an approved custom story into an illustrated, narrated private reader with day and bedtime modes. There are no runtime model calls or child-facing accounts.

About

I learned systems by owning the handoff.

My operating path runs through hospitality, a grocery marketplace, a customer-experience platform, marketplace re-platforming, and products built with AI. The industry changed. The responsibility did not: make sure the next person has the context to act.

I am most useful where a capable team has access to powerful tools but still needs someone to decide what should be built, what evidence counts, and who owns the result.

Contact

Start with the operating question.

If you are building an AI-enabled capability and the hard part is ownership, judgment, or execution, tell me where it is stuck.
