Make the workwork better.

Websites, custom tools, and creative work. I build them for my own businesses—and help other people put AI to work in theirs.

01 Websites & experiences

A boat deserves
a better showroom.

The Boat. A dedicated site for the Vexus, with the details, the crew, and a clear way to check dates. Built around the actual experience.

02 Small tools. Useful jobs.

Less clipboard.
More getting on with it.

A check-in at the dock. A caption from a photo. Small apps built around how the work actually happens. Some are public; others are private tools used in the business.

03 Creative direction

Give an idea
something you can see.

Images, short films, and ads with a purpose. These are AI-generated pieces I directed for my own businesses. The photographs, screen captures, and renders throughout this site are labelled for what they are.

03 / The person behind the work

A teacher.
A business owner.
A useful combination.

I teach, run Baxstar Fishing and Lakes Golf Simulator, and build things I can use. That gives me a practical place to test an idea before recommending it to someone else.

“AI hasn’t shortened my workday. It has expanded what I can attempt.”

13 years in classroomsMaster’s in technology & instructional design

04 / Work together

Start with
one useful thing.

You don’t need the whole plan figured out. Bring the task, the idea, or the thing that keeps getting in the way.

Find the right fix.

Workflow audit. One working session on your real screens and a 2–3 page plan you can act on.

Talk through a workflow

Build what’s missing.

A website or custom tool. Something that fits the job, with a clear scope and the costs discussed upfront.

Bring me an idea

Make it visible.

Images, video, and advertising. Creative work built around what you need people to understand or do.

Talk about the creative

A few practical answers

Before you ask.

What can you help me with?

Websites, custom tools, creative work, and practical AI education. I also audit workflows to find the useful changes before you invest in a build.

What happens in a workflow audit?

We look at one workflow on your real screens. You get a working session and a 2–3 page plan: what to change, what to keep, and a useful next step.

Will I need another subscription?

We start with the tools you already have and free options where they fit. If a paid service is necessary, we discuss the cost before building around it.

Can we work together remotely?

Yes. I’m based in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Audits and builds can be done remotely. Send a message with the problem you want to solve.

Do you teach AI classes?

Yes—practical, hands-on lessons. Contact me for current class information or to discuss a session for your team.
