Creative Logic = Engineered Resilience

I'm a "Fixer"; 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. A true polymath — When others throw in the towel, I toss in my hat.

I've been a licensed electrician, HVAC tech, marine engineer on world-class yachts, and the "engineering electrician" at a San Diego maker of 100 foot commercial fishing boats and private yaghts. My push for modernizatin there saw three fishers and one yacht launched in three years. I've sold HVAC supplies in Portland, cars when I had to, and built better business everywhere I went because I actually "heard", not just listened, to what people needed to make their lives better.

The work taught me something: Hard problems often aren't what they appear to be. The roots can be invisible to "specialists". The problem can actually be about leadership values, embeded bottlenecks, or archaic corporate "traditions" that no longer serve. The "impossible" problem just needs someone who's seen enough different systems to recognize the pattern.

I don't care about industry boundaries. An audio editing system and a business operation both have inputs, outputs, and bottlenecks. Both break down when corners get cut. Both work better when you can "see" the whole system, not just your piece of it.

At 72, I've learned to spot bullshit quickly and call it out even faster. We've likely all seen enough so-called experts 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: or redesign it.

If your problems don't fit into neat categories; When the going gets tough and the specialists just keep treading water - if you need someone who thinks across disciplines instead of hiding behind credentials - let's talk.

The problems I like to solve require connecting dots others can't see. Sometimes with a test instrument, sometimes a "Gripe Session" - always with logic that works under pressure.
