Michigan BasedDental PracticeStealth ConsumerWhat I actually do
You don't need another advisor. You need someone who'll get in the weeds with you, part-time, until the problem's solved.
Strategy
Not the 50-page kind. The "here's who we're selling to and why they'll buy" kind. Positioning, pricing, go-to-market. Stuff you can act on this week.
AI & Automation
I don't just talk about AI. I build with Claude, GPT, and custom agents daily. If there's a workflow you're doing manually, let's automate it.
Product
Too many features, not enough shipped? I'll help you cut scope, sequence what matters, and actually launch. User research included when you need it.
Operations
Your processes are held together with duct tape and Slack threads. I'll untangle them. Hiring, vendors, metrics, the boring stuff that's quietly killing your momentum.
How it works
No mystery. Just momentum.
I'm not here to sit in your meetings or produce decks nobody reads. I work alongside you, hands on keyboard, until the problem's fixed.
Most engagements run 10-20 hours a week. Some are shorter sprints. We figure out what makes sense after we talk.
We talk
15 minutes. You tell me what's broken. I ask annoying questions.
I scope it
You get a clear proposal. Hours, outcomes, timeline. No surprises.
We ship
I embed with your team. Build, fix, automate. Whatever it takes.
Track Record
Results speak louder.
Here's what founders, executives, and teams say after working together.
“He inspires you to work on the business, not just in the business.”
Tom has guided and coached both myself and our executive team, implementing practical strategies that have made our company more lean and focused. His hands-on approach and willingness to dive into the details set him apart. He has played a key role in helping our team become more comfortable with integrating AI across our operations. He is one of those rare people who inspires you to work on the business, not just in the business.

Fit Check
Would we work well together?
I'm selective about who I work with, and you should be too. Here's how to know if we're a good match.
We'll click if you...
- →Want someone in the trenches, not on the sidelines
- →Value speed and iteration over perfection
- →Are open to AI-first approaches
- →Need ops, product, or GTM momentum, fast
- →Prefer direct feedback over diplomatic hedging
Maybe not if you...
- →Need someone to validate existing plans, not challenge them
- →Want lengthy discovery phases and big decks
- →Prefer consensus-building over decisive action
- →Are skeptical of AI's near-term impact
- →Want to borrow capability, not build it

Store Operations + Customer Experience Redesign
Buncha was scaling quickly but execution varied by location. I rebuilt the operating model, partnered with product to redesign the customer experience, and helped leadership see what disciplined operations could achieve.
