About Tim
I spent 15 years as a professional educator, which shaped how I design training that people actually remember. Today I work at the intersection of marketing, learning and development, and applied AI. My focus is helping teams in the Great Lakes Bay Region of Michigan use AI with clarity, safety, and real business value.
Based in the Tri-Cities area, I currently lead the marketing department for a family of six companies. I also direct learning and development for four of those companies, and I serve as the AI integrator across all of them. That means I build practical playbooks, select and govern tools, and coach teams so they can ship better work with less friction.
Every session blends live practice, clean frameworks, and examples from your world. Your people leave with prompts and checklists they can use the same day, plus a plan to keep improving after I leave. Serving businesses throughout Midland County, Bay County, Saginaw County, and central Michigan.
Customer Reviews
Discover what our clients think about our service
I've been working with Tim as my "AI Mentor" for over four months, and the experience has been incredibly valuable. Marketing was new to my role, and at first I was intimidated by all the AI tools. Tim has a gift for taking complex, technical concepts and breaking them down into clear, easy-to-understand explanations. He tailors his recommendations to my specific needs and skill level, which has made the process not only productive but also fun - for me and for our audience. Thanks to Tim's guidance, our company's social media presence has expanded exponentially.
Working with Tim Felt Like Adding Three New Team Members—Without the Payroll.
I lead a marketing team that manages six different businesses, and while we knew AI could be valuable, we were initially intimidated and unsure of how to begin. When we connected with Tim, he provided practical training on how to use AI effectively, safely, and efficiently. Since then, it has felt like we've added the capacity of three additional team members.
Beyond marketing, Tim has also worked with our accounting and estimating departments, helping streamline reporting, save time, and create stronger alignment across the company. We are incredibly grateful that we chose to learn how to use AI the right way, and even more thankful that we had Tim to guide us through the process.
