I built Clever Humans because I lived the problem I'm solving.
I started my business for freedom. Creative freedom. Autonomy. Time with family.
Instead, I became Chief Everything Officer. Working 70+ hours a week. Answering every question. Fighting every fire. Missing family events because "the business needed me."
Sound familiar?
I was the bottleneck. Everything lived in my head. My team couldn't make decisions without me. I couldn't take a vacation without the whole operation grinding to a halt.
I didn't escape the corporate rat race—I built a faster wheel.
The wake-up call came on a Monday morning. A key team member didn't show up. The house of cards collapsed.
I stood in my office, overwhelmed, realizing: "There has to be a better way."
That's when I discovered AI—not as a buzzword, but as a tool for life reclamation.
I started documenting processes. Building custom GPTs to answer repetitive questions. Automating workflows that used to eat my weekends.
Within months, I went from 70-hour weeks to working 40 hours. My team became more autonomous. Quality improved. Revenue grew.
I got my life back.
Once I freed myself, I couldn't unsee the problem everywhere.
Thousands of business owners—smart, capable people—trapped in the same cycle. Working themselves to burnout. Believing they're "too small" for sophisticated systems. Thinking they have to "figure it out themselves."
That's a lie.
The entire AI industry is optimized for Fortune 500 companies. Enterprise consultants charge $50K+ minimums and take 6-12 months to deliver a slide deck.
Small businesses get left behind—despite being 99.6% of all businesses.
Clever Humans exists to fix that gap. We bring enterprise-grade AI solutions to small businesses at accessible prices and lightning-fast timelines.
We don't sell technology. We sell time. Our ultimate metric isn't efficiency—it's the restoration of your freedom and identity outside of work.
Robots build the structure, but humans design the house. AI handles the drain; humans handle the connection. We never automate authenticity.
We reject "building on quicksand." Branding and systematic process documentation must precede AI implementation.
We rebel against the "grind." Burnout is a failure of design, not a badge of honor. Working 70 hours isn't heroic—it's a symptom of broken systems.
I don't do 6-month contracts or enterprise minimums. I use the Sniper Approach: focused scope, fast delivery, measurable results.
Every project is custom-scoped based on your specific needs. No cookie-cutter packages. No hourly billing. Just transparent pricing based on outcomes.
I work primarily in Central Ohio, but I serve clients nationwide through virtual engagements.
My promise: I'll tell you honestly if I can help. If I can't, I'll point you to someone who can.
If you're working 70+ hours, feeling trapped by your business, and wondering if there's a better way—there is.
