Architecture school taught me systems thinking. Not buildings — systems. Miami University, class of 2009. Been in Pittsburgh ever since, designing the operational infrastructure that lets businesses scale without breaking.
15+ years. Same throughline every time: a business knows what it does, but the way it gets work done doesn't scale. So I build the system. Operations, marketing ops, credentialing, governance — the parts that decide whether you grow or stall.
The current edge is AI. Workflows that used to need headcount can run on automation if you design them right. That's where I come in. Fractional COO, project lead, or part-time embed — whatever the shape, the deliverable is the same: ops that work without you in every meeting.
Cooperative that designs certification programs, licensing frameworks, and governance systems for expert businesses. Our Systems of Trust™ framework is where I run most of my fractional ops work today, including the AI workflows that let small teams move like big ones.
Scaling SEAM Certification™ — third-party verification of social sustainability in real estate. Built the ops layer for a whole new category of building certification. Plus the SEAM Accredited Professional credential. Another system. Another scale problem. Solved.
Digital Architect for the WELL Building Standard. Translated a global health and wellness certification into digital infrastructure. Same pattern as everything else: manual expert work in, automated system out.
Co-led a social equity framework touching 8.5M+ sq ft of under-resourced real estate. Built the digital platform for 1,000+ sustainability courses. Migrated 5,000 paper forms into an automated ops layer. Big org, real ops at scale.
Where it started. National green-job training social enterprise. 12 locations across 10 states. LEED certification for 60+ affordable housing projects. 200+ young professionals qualified for LEED Accreditation. 25 LEED-certified affordable Habitat homes. 400+ developing professionals trained. This is what happens when you build the system right.
