Engineer. Entrepreneur. Builder. Always experimenting.
I've been building things for the web since 1995, and I'm still just as fascinated by technology as I was back then. What drives me is simple: finding a better way to do something, building it, and seeing it make a real difference.
Today, I run Crux Experts LLC, where we help businesses grow through custom software, modern websites, search visibility, digital marketing, and practical automation. We don't just advise. We build, implement, manage, and work directly with our clients to deliver results.
AI is a game changer, but only when it solves real problems.
I spend a lot of time experimenting with evolving AI models, building custom agent harnesses, developing open source tools, and figuring out how to make these technologies genuinely useful. The sweet spot is combining intelligent models with dependable software, the right context, and good engineering.
Some experiments become products. Others teach me something new. That's how we stay ahead in a field that's changing almost daily.
I started in commercial web development, worked on industrial software, and eventually founded iHost ASP / IHOST, LLC. What began in my bedroom grew into a hosting business serving more than 62,000 domains, with infrastructure across two data centers. I operated it for nine years before selling the company.
A few snapshots from those years:
2008: IHOST at OpenForce in Las Vegas · 2013: IHOST and SmarterTools partnership · 2015: HostedAppliance product launch
My open source projects include LocalSetup, OMP OmniRoute Provider, Envman, and bbackup.
They're part of a broader effort to make development, automation, and infrastructure more accessible, reliable, and efficient.
I love building technology. I love making businesses better with it. And I believe we're only scratching the surface of what's possible.
