Your ideas, reflected back with clarity and direction.

Reflections is a personal consulting service where I offer my time as a sounding board for ideas, strategy, and problem-solving. I value my time at $80/hour, but applicants may contribute any amount they feel reflects the value they receive—even if that amount is zero. Each year, I select only a few individuals or teams to work with, ensuring the conversations remain meaningful, intentional, and impactful.

What You'll Get

  • Honest, actionable feedback on your ideas or projects
  • Guidance on technical strategy, cybersecurity, or automation
  • Brainstorming sessions for new ventures or problem-solving
  • A trusted outside perspective grounded in real-world experience

How It Works

  • Apply – Submit your interest with a short message about what you’d like to discuss.
  • Selection – I choose a small number of participants each year to keep the sessions focused and valuable.
  • Schedule – Set a time that works best for you—sessions are typically 60 minutes.
  • Contribute – Pay what you feel is fair, from $0 to $80/hr, based on the value you receive.

Who It's For

  • Founders and entrepreneurs looking for clarity
  • Developers and engineers seeking technical direction
  • Teams facing workflow, security, or automation challenges
  • Anyone who needs a fresh, experienced perspective
