BACK PORCH AI · SUMMERTIME SPECIAL
My techy brain on your AI challenge. 90 minutes on my back porch.
Leave with an AI that does one job in your business, every time you ask.
Hold my space for $50Who can get a big win from a 90-minute Backporch AI Work Session?
You built something cool with Claude, and it stalled.
You got it working Tuesday night, then it stuck: no clear UI, nothing secured, no logs when it breaks. That last mile is my whole career. Bring me your half-baked AI project and we'll get it production-grade.
You want in on AI without becoming a coder.
You need one problem, one wired-in system, and someone who's watched forty years of tech waves roll through. That's what I'm for.
You just want the job handled.
Invoices chased, intakes that flag themselves, a CRM that updates itself. Running before next week, with someone still there when it snags.
How this works
Before
Book your session. $50 to hold your space. 3 days before, we start a shared slack channel, so I can start understanding your challenge. The work is already beginning at this point.
The session
90 minutes, side by side. We connect AI to your Slack, your email, your CRM, your notes, and wire up an assist for your one problem.
After
The slack channel stays open three more days. You put it to work in your business, and I'm right there when something snags. Pay what you want for the session. I have no doubt you'll see the value.
Local or remote. If you're near Central Ohio, let's do this IRL. If you're not, I'll sit on the porch and send you back porch vibes over Zoom.

FAQ
Do I need to be a coder?
No. One problem and ninety minutes.
What if I don't use Claude?
I prefer Claude for a million reasons, but I design tech agnostic solutions, because everything shifts fast. We work in whatever system you are most comfortable.
How does pay what you want actually work?
Exactly like it sounds. $50 holds your space and counts toward it. After the session, once you've seen it run, you decide the number. Most people land around $250-300. For context, senior AI engineers bill $150 to $300 an hour in 2026. You get 90 minutes of that plus a week in Slack, and you set the price.
Why is it pay what you want?
Not because I'm new at this or unsure of the value. Because AI and code development right now is the wild wild west. None of the offers out there are clear or comparable, and pricing is all over the map. I have no doubt I can bring you value, and this is a low risk test for both of us. Plus, I try to only work with people who like the win-win-win-win approach and are fair and generous in their business. This finds exactly them.
What if I'm not local?
Local or remote, your pick. If you're near Central Ohio, let's do this IRL. If you're not, I'll sit on the porch and send you back porch vibes over Zoom. Either way you'll hear the birds.
I'm not a business owner. Can you still help me?
This summer, the porch is for business owners. That focus is what makes the sessions work. But follow along: I show what I build with AI every week, and plenty of it you can borrow. And if you know a business owner who needs this, send them my way. Referrals make my day.
Is this for me?
My only requirement: you run a full-time business, or you're funded and building one.

Doing what I love, in my AI coding era.
I've been writing code since I was 9 in 1981. Thirty years of enterprise systems. It's the thing my brain was built to do, and I get to be alive for the most exciting era coding has ever had.
This summer, I'm doing it from my back porch.
Writing code since 1981. I build AI-run operations for small businesses.
