About

From the early days of personal computing to today's AI, I've spent four decades helping people get comfortable with technology that once felt intimidating.

I've spent my career helping people use new tools.

My path here wasn't a straight line: I started as a professional tennis player before diving into software and digital marketing.

Along the way, I've started several businesses — First Resort Software, Blue Tent Marketing, and FootSteps Marketing. Each one taught me something new about how technology reshapes the way we work, connect, and create.

Now, with Sopris.ai, I'm focused on something that feels both new and deeply personal: helping adults understand and use AI in practical ways. I know firsthand how overwhelming new technology can seem. If you're curious about AI but not sure where to start, you're exactly who I built this for.

How we teach

Practical. Useful. Results. We believe AI is most powerful when people know how to use it. That's why we focus on making it understandable, useful, and approachable — no jargon, no unnecessary complexity. Just real people solving real problems with real tools.

What we won't promise

We won't promise overnight mastery, sell you tools you don't need, or pretend AI is magic. Just honest, practical help — at your pace.

What to expect

Practical focus

We teach skills you can use immediately, not theory you'll forget.

Real people

No jargon, no overwhelming complexity. Just clear, real communication.

Real results
