About Me

Technology shouldn't feel overwhelming.

Built With You started with a simple frustration: too much of the web design and marketing world is louder and more complicated than it needs to be. Small business owners deserve technology that feels approachable, practical, and easy to live with.

I've spent more than 27 years in software, helping build products used by millions of people. Along the way, I learned how to make technology easier to understand, spot problems before they become expensive, and build systems people can actually maintain.

Over the years, I've watched too many small business owners lose access to their own websites, domains, and accounts because someone else set everything up. A friend built the website. A relative created the Facebook page. A freelancer registered the domain. Then life happened, relationships changed, passwords disappeared, and the business owner was left trying to piece everything back together.

I believe your business should belong to you.

That's why I build websites, marketing plans, and social media systems that fit the way you actually work. If you'd rather have me handle everything, I can do that. If you'd rather learn, I'll teach you using your own business as the classroom, whether that's your website, Canva, social media, or AI tools that can save you hours every week.

My goal isn't to make you dependent on me. It's to give you the confidence to manage your business yourself, while knowing you have someone to call when you need help.

Technology should feel like a tool, not another job.

That's what Built With You is all about.

Principles

How I work.

  1. Keep it simple.

    Technology should solve problems, not create them.

  2. Plain language.

    You'll always understand what we're building and why.

  3. Progress beats perfection.

    Small, steady improvements usually outperform big overhauls.

  4. Use AI with purpose.

    The goal isn't more AI. It's more time for your business.
