Questions people ask me

Honest answers, in plain language. If your question is not here, just ask. I answer myself, often the same day.

Do you work with people outside Colorado?
Yes. I am based near Colorado Springs and I work with clients all over the country, fully remote. And if you need me there in person, I will come, no matter where you are.
What will this cost me?
We start with a free call and a free look at your systems. My rate is 80 dollars an hour, and I bend it to your budget, not mine. If money is tight, we can even trade. I would rather see you grow than watch you overpay.
What if I am not techy at all?
That is exactly who I do this for. I slow everything down, I explain the why, and I never make you feel small for asking. My job is to lift the tech weight off your shoulders.
Do you really barter?
Yes, old school. I am a farmer with horses, and I believe in trading value for value. If you have something to trade, let us talk. And yes, I will happily trade for good food, because I am a farmer and I love to eat. If you can cook it or grow it, we can make a deal.
Why do you charge so little, and how do you make money?
Because somewhere along the way, helping people started to matter to me more than the markup. I have watched too many good, hardworking people get drained by companies that treat them like a paycheck, and I refuse to be one more of those. I keep my prices low, I trade when it makes sense, and I make my living on the people who stay because the work pays for itself. When you win, I win. That is plenty for me.
What are your credentials?
More than 12 years in grants, finance, and accounting, much of it inside outdated government systems. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Finance and I have 14 years of coding experience. I build real software in Python, SQL, JavaScript, React, and Node, and I work daily in Excel, Power Query, Power Automate, Power BI, and Tableau. I built and run HumbleSuite, a full business platform. I come from a military family and I am right at home in government, university, and nonprofit work.
Do you work with my existing website, software, and projects?
Yes. Most of the time I am improving what you already have, not replacing it. I connect the tools you already pay for, clean up what is messy, and only build something new when it truly saves you time or money.
Can you build mobile apps?
Yes, both. I can build full apps you download from the App Store or Google Play, and mobile friendly web apps that run great right in your phone browser. We pick whichever fits your goal and your budget.
Do you offer discounts?
Always, when it is the right thing to do. My price flexes to your budget, not mine. Nonprofits, veterans, founders just getting started, and good old fashioned trades are all welcome. Just be honest with me about where you are and we will find a way.
What is your mission?
I want to give the everyday person a real fighting chance. For years I watched good, hardworking people get buried by clunky systems and treated like just a number by companies that only saw a paycheck. It broke my heart. So I made it my work to hand people back their time, their calm, and their hope. If I can lift the weight off your shoulders and watch you stand a little taller, that is the whole reward for me. Everyone deserves someone in their corner who is not just there for the money. I want to be that person for you.
How do we get started?
One easy step: reach out. Call or text me, send an email, or fill in the short form on my contact page. We set up a free call, I listen, and I point you to the first move. No pressure, no commitment.
How fast can you start?
Usually quickly. I take on a small number of clients at a time so each one gets real attention, and I answer messages myself, often the same day. Tell me your timeline and I will be straight with you about what is doable.
Is my information safe with you?
Yes. Anything you share stays between us, and I am comfortable with NDAs, compliance, and the rules that come with government, grant, and healthcare work. I do not sell your data or add you to any list.
Which industries and areas do you serve?
I work with service businesses, nonprofits and research teams, operations and finance leaders, and anyone ready to put AI to work. I am based near Colorado Springs, serve the whole Front Range in person, and work with clients across the country remotely. Veteran owned businesses and public sector teams are especially welcome.
What is HumbleSuite, and do I need it?
HumbleSuite is the all in one business platform I built. It replaces around 200 separate tools for one honest price, starting at 9.99 dollars a month. You do not need it to work with me, but if you are tired of paying for a dozen overpriced apps, it is often the simplest fix. I will only point you to it if it genuinely helps you.

Still have a question?

Ask me straight. No bots, no giant intake forms. I read and answer every message myself.
Open seven days a week, often answering the same day.
