Fractional AI Support for Piedmont Triad Businesses

I install practical AI systems and train your team to run them, on a part-time retainer, at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time AI hire.

Serving Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, and the surrounding Piedmont Triad.

How It Works

Audit, implement, train, support — on a part-time retainer.

AI implementation and automation services

A Fractional AI Partner, Not a Big Agency Bill

Most $2–10M businesses in the Triad can't justify a full-time AI hire, but they're falling behind competitors who are already using AI to move faster. I work with a small number of businesses each month as their part-time AI implementation partner.

What's included:

  • Workflow audit — I map where AI can save your team real hours, not theoretical ones.
  • Implementation — I install and configure the tools (agents, automations, integrations) your business actually needs.
  • Team training — Your people learn to run and extend the systems themselves, so you're not dependent on me forever.
  • Ongoing support — Monthly retainer includes iteration as your business changes.

Who this is for: Manufacturers, professional services firms (law, CPA), e-commerce and online education businesses, and operations-heavy businesses with $2–10M in revenue and a lean team.

Engagement Options

Start small, then scale up only if it's working.

Start With an AI Opportunity Audit

$1,500

A focused, fixed-fee engagement. I spend time with your team, map your current workflows, and deliver a short report identifying the highest-value places to apply AI in your business, with rough cost/time estimates for each.

Then, Ongoing Fractional Retainer

from $2,500/month

For businesses ready to implement. I work roughly 10 hours/week with your team to install, configure, and train on AI systems, month to month, no long-term contract required.

Why Work With Me

  • 25+ years in enterprise technology, including Director of IT for an industrial manufacturing company — I understand how operations teams actually work, not just how AI demos look.

  • Based in the Piedmont Triad — local, available for in-person work when it matters.

  • I teach your team to run what I build, so you're not locked into paying me forever.
