These days, a lot of my work is helping small and mid-sized businesses use AI in practical, safe ways: picking the first task worth automating, setting ground rules for company data, and connecting AI to the systems a business already runs, like QuickBooks, NetSuite and Shopify. In September 2026, I shared practical, budget-friendly AI tips at the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce Smart Series.
What I help businesses with:
When I’m not busy ensuring your business tech operations run seamlessly, you can find me somewhere on a river or a trail in the mountains of western North Carolina, where I live with my wife and our 2 dogs.
What it takes to connect AI to QuickBooks Online, NetSuite and Shopify in 2026: built-in assistants, official ChatGPT and Claude connectors, permissions, and a setup checklist.
A practical AI rollout plan for small teams: start with a pilot group, train people by role, expand team by team, and measure what matters. Written for businesses in Asheville and across North Carolina.
