Real Logic for Real Problems

I fix things. That's what I do, whether it's a variable speed drive, an IT catastrophe wrapped in bad documentation, or a business process that's bleeding money.

I've been a licensed electrician, HVAC tech, marine engineer on a 68-meter yacht, and the only electrician at an aluminum boat builder for three years. I've sold HVAC supplies in Portland, cars when I had to, and built better business everywhere I went because I actually listen to what people need.

The work taught me something: most problems aren't what they appear to be. The "electrical" problem is really a workflow issue. The "technical" problem is actually about communication. The "impossible" problem just needs someone who's seen enough different systems to recognize the pattern.

I don't care about industry boundaries. A refrigeration system and a business operation both have inputs, outputs, and bottlenecks. Both break down when someone cuts corners. Both work better when you understand the whole system, not just your piece of it.

At 72, I've learned to spot bullshit quickly and cut through it even faster. I've seen enough consultants who talk a good game but can't change a headlight or balance a checkbook. I'm not that guy. I get my hands dirty, figure out what's actually broken, and fix it.

If your problem doesn't fit in neat categories, if the specialists keep pointing fingers at each other, if you need someone who thinks across disciplines instead of hiding behind credentials - that's when you call.

I solve problems that require connecting dots others can't see. Sometimes with a test instrument, sometimes with a spreadsheet, always with logic that works under pressure.
