I run the operations that move orders from checkout to doorstep, and I sell the logistics that make it possible.
15+ years across supply chain operations, 3PL and final mile logistics, and business development. Based in Buffalo Grove, IL.
Annualized $9.7M in new business · Freight costs cut 29.3% · Five live software products
I have spent my career on both sides of the logistics relationship. As an operator, I bought warehousing, 3PL, and final mile delivery for high growth ecommerce retailers, and answered for every missed window and damaged shipment. As a business developer at a national 3PL, I designed, priced, and sold those same services. That combination is rare: I know where a quote is padded, which SLAs a partner can actually hold, and what it takes to deliver what sales commits.
The numbers behind that: I grew new business revenue 70%+ in a year, from $5.68M to an annualized $9.7M. I cut annual freight costs 29.3%. I led a 50+ person organization through 100%+ year over year growth, and I have been leading teams continuously since 2008. I care about clarity, measurable outcomes, and building systems that let a business scale without breaking.
These days I also build software. Since late 2025 I have shipped five live products on web and Android by directing AI coding agents as product owner, architect, and reviewer, roughly 260,000 lines of production code across nine repositories.
A few problems I've been handed, and what happened next.
Founder and Solo Builder
Designing, shipping, and operating a portfolio of AI-assisted software products while acting as product owner, systems architect, and technical reviewer. I define product vision, decompose work into agent-ready tasks, review architecture, and accept every production change.

Wefty.net
A pocket arcade of run, climb, and swing mini-games starring WordWeft's mascot, with every sprite animation produced through a custom generative art pipeline.
CoinsAndBills.net
An offline-first tracker for world coins and banknotes on Android and the web: a 15,606-type catalogue covering 369 countries in your pocket, with on-device OCR for serial numbers.
FlotillasAdrift.com
A persistent multiplayer simulation platform: rule a floating salvage city, tide by tide. Deterministic simulation, server-authoritative play, and 5,000+ automated tests behind every deploy.
I've volunteered with the Civil Air Patrol, the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary, since 2011, and I commanded our squadron from 2016 to 2018: 60+ volunteers, two aircraft, and our state's top emergency-services rating. It's where I learned that good leadership is mostly preparation and trust.
At home in Buffalo Grove, I'm a husband and a dad of two (plus two dogs who are convinced they count too), and most weekends are built around family.
Off the clock I'm hands-on: a new deck, the backyard pool project, a full run of raised garden beds every summer. I also collect world banknotes and mechanical tool watches, mostly as excuses to fall down a good history-and-design rabbit hole.
I also build software in the collectibles space: Coins and Bills (coinsandbills.net) is a collection tracker I designed and shipped around a 15,606 type banknote catalogue covering 369 countries.
Have an interesting role, a logistics problem, a product you're trying to get built, or just want to connect? I'd love to hear from you.
