Three hundred feet down, “we’ll fix it later” isn’t an option.

I spent eighteen years as a communications tech on Trident submarines, where the systems either work or people don’t come home. That’s the standard I’ve held every system to since — now for nonprofits and small businesses that can’t absorb downtime the way a bigger company can.

What I do

The IT work small businesses can’t afford to get wrong — the daily things that have to just work, and the decisions that determine whether you’re covered when something breaks.

01 — Systems

IT support & security

Setup, troubleshooting, networking, and the maintenance that stops small problems becoming outages. Backups that actually restore. Patching, access control, and a plan for when something goes wrong instead of finding out the hard way.

02 — Judgment

Practical AI

Where AI genuinely saves your business time, and where it isn’t worth the complexity. No hype, no forcing it in where it doesn’t fit.

03 — Web

Websites that hold up

Built properly rather than assembled from a template farm. Fast, accessible, maintainable, and yours — not rented from a page builder you can never leave.

How this works

No packages, no pricing table, no quote before I understand the problem.

  1. We talk firstA couple of hours on what you have, what keeps breaking, and where you’re trying to get to. No charge, no obligation.
  2. You get a straight answerWhat’s actually wrong, what it actually takes to fix, and what can wait. No jargon, no upsell theater, no vendor-speak.
  3. We agree what’s worth doingPriced for the organization in front of me. Nonprofits are not charged like enterprises.
Ten clients. That’s the limit. I take a small number of clients on purpose, so nobody becomes a ticket in a queue. When I’m full, I’ll tell you and point you somewhere good.

This is deliberate work, not volume. I’ve held five jobs since 1978 — I don’t disappear halfway through an engagement, and I’m not building something to sell.

If your setup’s held together with hope and a spare Ethernet cable, that’s exactly what I fix.

Let’s talk about where you are.

A couple of hours, no charge, no obligation. If I’m not the right fit I’ll say so and point you somewhere better.
