About Me

I work primarily with small cities and towns that operate on a cash-basis accounting system and face limited staffing, turnover, or gaps in institutional knowledge.

With experience as a municipal finance director and clerk, I understand the realities of small-city operations—from council meetings and audits to utility billing and year-end reporting. I focus on practical solutions, clear communication, and building systems that work long after my engagement ends.

AI-Powered Tools for Modern Communities

I help cities and local governments leverage practical, easy-to-use AI tools that improve transparency, save staff time, and enhance citizen engagement.

What I Bring to Your Community

  • Custom AI tools tailored to your city’s website and documents

  • Improved access to public information and records

  • Reduced administrative workload for staff

  • Enhanced transparency and resident satisfaction

  • Practical implementation with a focus on real-world municipal needs

I combine hands-on municipal experience with modern technology to deliver solutions that actually work for cities—without unnecessary complexity.

Services Offered

Many communities know what they want to accomplish but lack the time, training, or internal capacity to plan effectively, meet reporting requirements, or manage projects alongside daily operations. My services are designed to meet cities where they are—providing hands-on support, practical guidance, and long-term planning tools that fit small-city realities.
