Not because I know everything — but because I know enough about a lot of things to help you figure out what you actually need, and how to get there.
I am a consultant - just not the kind most people picture when they hear that word. There's no agency behind me, no team of associates, and no methodology I'm going to walk you through.
What I have is time, experience, and a genuine interest in helping small businesses figure things out. Whether that's a single focused conversation or an ongoing relationship, the goal is always the same - get you to a clear answer and a confident next step.
If that sounds like what you've been looking for, I'd like to talk.
My name is Kyle. I've spent over 20 years running a small business in the Fox Valley area, and in that time I've worn just about every hat there is. Operations, finance, design, technology, vendor relationships, staffing — not as a specialist in any one of them, but as someone who had to figure all of them out while keeping a business running at the same time.
That experience has a way of making you useful to other people.
20+ years of hands-on small business experience in the Fox Valley area and Tri-Cities.
MBA with a background spanning design, technology, operations, finance, and vendor management.
5+ years as a BNI Director, responsible for multiple chapters, member training, and chapter growth across the Fox Valley area and Tri-Cities.
Real-world experience with lawyers, accountants, and specialists — enough to know when you need one and who to point you toward.
Decades of problem-solving across the kinds of situations most small business owners face but rarely talk about.
But what I bring more than anything is the ability to sit across from a small business owner, understand what they're dealing with, and help them figure out what to do next. Without jargon. Without a retainer. Without making it more complicated than it needs to be.
I'm not a consultant. I'm not an agency. I don't have a team of associates or a methodology I'm going to walk you through.
