How long does it take to learn distribution? I'm still learning it every day.

After 22 years in industrial distribution, I use AI, automation, and analytics to solve operational problems faster and build systems grounded in how the whole business actually runs.

What I've Built

Tools & Systems

Designed by someone who has been the end user — not from spec documents, but from years of buying, counting, and explaining why something was out of stock.

Inventory Intelligence Dashboard

Operational data exists in every ERP, but there's no interface that surfaces what actually needs attention right now. This turns 60K+ SKU data into a daily action list — backorders, stockouts, and reorder triggers ranked by urgency.

Process Automation & AI

AI-Integrated Operational Workflows

Vendor analysis, demand forecasting, exception reporting — processes that used to run on manual spreadsheets and tribal knowledge. Now built as AI-integrated workflows: LLM-powered recommendations, Python automation pipelines, and dashboards that surface what matters before someone has to ask.

01

Deep domain, not theory

I've been around distribution since before I can remember. Started my career at 22, worked my way from inside sales through purchasing to supply chain leadership across 8 companies. When I build something, I already know what a buyer ignores and what gets opened at 6 AM.

02

I build things that get used

I took clipboard purchasing from 7 separate locations and centralized it into one office. Everything I build has to work for real buyers under real pressure. If it doesn't fit the workflow, it doesn't ship.

03

I close the gap

Most ops people can't build software. Most builders have never negotiated a vendor agreement or stared at a stockout report. I've done both for over 20 years — and now I integrate AI into the processes that need it most.

Let's talk

22 years in the field. Let's put that experience to work.

Whether you're looking for a supply chain leader to join your team, a consultant to optimize operations, or someone to build the AI-driven tools your people have been asking for — let's talk.
