Over 13 years I've done this across industries: e-commerce, construction, real estate, and HGTV-featured design-build firms. The role changes, but the job stays the same: run the operation, grow the marketing, and build whatever is missing.
Search is the thread through all of it. I've spent years doing SEO for businesses that live and die by being found, from HGTV-featured builders to local service companies. Today that includes GEO and AEO, so brands show up in AI answers too, and it's the core of what webIQ sells.
Today that work runs through four companies. I founded Nomad Mobile Ads, a truck and trailer advertising company building its founding network now. I founded BrostCo, AI that helps government contractors find, analyze and prepare bids. And I founded webIQ, which builds websites and local SEO for service businesses. I also co-founded Quantum Connect AI, whose assistant Hannah answers dealership buyers in seconds. Alongside them I run side projects like Boise Travel Club, BACwater and Tour Idaho, and build platforms for clients, from HGTV-featured builders to a private sobriety app.
I build with Cursor, Replit, Claude, and modern AI tools, which lets me ship software that used to take a full dev team. 12+ websites, custom management portals, voice AI systems, automation pipelines. All built and launched by me.
