AI Work

Minneapolis, MN · Updated May 2026

I help businesses and nonprofits understand where AI can actually move the needle and build tools to make that happen faster. Here's what I'm working on.

Consulting Practice

AI Discovery Session

An automated client onboarding interview powered by Claude. A prospect answers questions solo: the AI digs into their business, workflows, pain points, and goals, then automatically delivers a structured summary, full transcript, and a ready-to-use AI context file to me. No scheduling, no prep calls. The client gets a clean picture of where AI can help before our first conversation.

Executive Committee — AI Org Analysis

A multi-agent AI framework where a full C-suite of specialized AI executives (CFO, COO, CTO, CMO, and more) independently analyze every domain of your organization, then a Facilitator synthesizes everything into a unified improvement roadmap with a full deliberation transcript. Available for both businesses and nonprofits. The most comprehensive AI-powered org analysis I've built.

Experiments & Building

Cowork — AI desktop automation

Using Anthropic's Cowork mode to automate file management, document creation, and multi-step workflows across Dropbox, Google Drive, Slack, and more. This site, and the Executive Committee framework, were both built and maintained in Cowork. It's changed how I work every day.

Local open-source models

Running Gemma, Qwen, and GPT-based open-source models locally to understand what's possible outside of API boundaries, useful for privacy-sensitive workflows and offline experimentation.

Also helping with AI

LKT Labs

Helping my dad's company LKT Labs adopt AI tools, from automating workflows to building context-aware assistants tailored to their processes. A grounded proving ground for a lot of what I refine in client work.

High Tech Kids

Bringing AI tools to High Tech Kids, Minnesota's FIRST robotics partner, where I serve on the board. That means grant writing support, communications, and helping staff work smarter with tools that fit a lean nonprofit team.

Want to explore what AI can do for your organization?

I work with small to mid-size businesses and nonprofits. The best starting point is a Discovery Session: a 20-minute AI-led interview that surfaces where you're leaving time and money on the table. Or reach out directly if you'd rather just talk.
