Approach to Consulting

Core Values: Integrity and Transparency

At the foundation of my consulting philosophy are integrity and honesty—values that build lasting, successful relationships. I believe in approaching each project with full transparency, ensuring clients are informed and confident at every stage of the process. My goal is to deliver exceptional results that not only address your immediate needs but also earn your trust and future business.

Commitment to Communication and Collaboration

Clear, consistent communication is key, especially in the complex world of AI. I prioritize keeping clients in the loop with regular updates, prompt responses, and straightforward explanations. This approach reduces surprises and aligns expectations, creating a collaborative environment that supports project success from start to finish.

Dedication to Quality and Detail

I hold myself to the highest of standards for quality and attention to detail. I have long been inspired by Steve Job’s insistence that a black finish be coated onto the inside of the NeXT computer case, even though only repairmen would see it. For Jobs, the philosophy was not about impressing other people. It was about holding yourself accountable for the quality of your work.

Mission

GenTekk’s mission is to maximize productivity, inspire creativity, broaden skillsets, and boost employee satisfaction by providing expert guidance and cost-effective deployment of AI tools, empowering organizations to make educated, strategic use of AI technologies that deliver measurable, real-world results.

Philosophy

My personal philosophy is rooted in Stoicism, guided by its four virtues: wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. I believe strongly in living with integrity, embracing personal responsibility, and fostering mutual respect, which are essential principles in shaping all of my relationships.

Hobbies

I’m drawn towards exhilarating activities. My top priority is getting to the gym 4/5 times per week and adhering to a healthy diet. I enjoy both whitewater and lake kayaking. I also enjoy triathlons, glass blowing, and marksmanship. Discovering and testing new AI tools has become a hobby in its own right.

Passions

I love to travel, from day trips around Michigan to adventures throughout the world. I’ve explored 28 countries and have sailed around the globe. At home, I’m an avid DIY’er, building and fixing just about anything. I believe strongly in personal development and being of service to others whenever possible.
