About

I taught Microsoft's Copilot course last month. Twenty minutes in, someone raised their hand: "We've had this for 6 months. I had no idea it could do any of this." That's the story in every class. Companies buy AI tools, skip the training, and wonder why adoption stalls. I fix that. As a Microsoft Certified Trainer and founder of AIA Copilot, I help businesses stop wasting money on AI tools nobody uses. I assess where AI fits, train teams to actually use it, and build custom solutions they own. What I deliver: • AI Readiness Assessments — find the ROI before you spend a dollar • Microsoft Copilot & Azure AI training — 12+ official courses • Claude Code training — custom curriculum I built from teaching dev teams • Custom AI solutions — working software in 90 days, you own the IP Background: 25+ years at Microsoft and Amazon. BS Computer Science, MBA from UW Foster School. I speak both business and technical. DM me "SOLUTION" if you want to talk about what AI can actually do for your business.

Current Experience

Aia copilot

Founder

Jan 2024 – Present · 2 yrs 4 mos · Michigan, United States · Hybrid

I help small and mid-size businesses adopt AI — from figuring out where it fits to training teams to building the actual solutions.
What that looks like:
AI Assessments — Where does AI make sense in your business? What's the ROI? What do you build first?
Training — Microsoft official curriculum (Azure AI, Power Platform, Copilot) plus custom workshops tailored to your team
Implementation — AI agents, automations, dashboards, and integrations that replace manual work
Background: 30 years in tech (Microsoft, Amazon), Microsoft Certified Trainer across Azure AI, Copilot, Power Platform, and Power BI. I've sat in the PM, BA, and program management seats — I speak both business and technical fluently.
Clients I work with: SMBs in trades, professional services, and operations-heavy businesses — the companies where AI has the biggest impact but the least guidance.
