Who you'd be working with
I've done most of the jobs in the building.
The short version.
I've run businesses for 25 years. In the 2025–26 financial year AI added close to 50% to my revenue. Now I teach other businesses how to do the same, and I can walk into almost any of them and understand how it works within the hour.
The long version.
I started running businesses in my early twenties. As general manager of an art and craft company I took it from a national operation to an international importer and exporter: hundreds of days in China building a supply network, a push into the US market, distributors, trade shows. Along the way I held nearly every position in the place. Sales, importing, exporting, research and development, production, design. We landed on the BRW list of Australia's fastest-growing private companies.

Then fifteen years in marketing and web. Running agencies, building Clare Media, doing the work myself. I hold a Bachelor of Technology with distinction from RMIT. I can code, and these days I mostly get AI to do it.
When AI arrived I didn't dabble. I went all in, and I was lucky: I had the business background to know what to ask it for and the technical background to connect it to everything. In 2025–26 it added close to 50% to my revenue, in a one-person business, mostly through project management and automated communication that was properly wired into my email, calendar and files.
That's when it became obvious that most business owners are missing this, because nobody has shown them where it fits in their business, and the people offering to are usually technical people who've never run one.
I'm the person who's run the business you work in, or something close to it, and can show your staff how to do their jobs faster without making them feel stupid.
Where I am.
I grew up in Geelong. At forty I spent two years travelling Australia with my wife and two daughters, and we settled in the Clare Valley, South Australia. I run businesses from a town of three thousand people, so I know what it's like to not be able to hire the person you need.
Clare Media, my web and video business, is where this started. It's still running. This is what I'm turning my attention to.
