Founder, Lead Piranha

I build AI systems inside businesses, the kind that run on their own, that clients actually own, and that take the work off the owner's shoulders.

Founded Lead Piranha

The short version

I'm from the Bronx, grew up between New York and New Jersey, and left corporate sales in 2019 with a one-way ticket south. I taught myself marketing on the road, started building for real clients, and turned that into Lead Piranha.

Two books published. A third in the works. The blog you're reading right now is the long-form version of how we run things at Lead Piranha, written so the people actually doing the work can borrow from it.

What I'm building right now

Systems

AI systems that answer, quote, follow up and report, built inside established businesses, starting with event and entertainment companies and equipment manufacturers.

Content

A blog that publishes itself, plus a weekly newsletter on handing busywork to AI. Both written from inside live client work.

In the open

No courses, no gated communities. Education, content, and speaking that show what is actually possible with the right tools and the right systems.
