Building businesses. Backing people. Learning by doing. I’m bringing it all to Overcy—helping businesses put AI to work while preserving human connection.
Why I’m building Overcy ↗01 / The person behind the work
A DIFFERENT
KIND OF
BUSINESS
BACKGROUND.
The instinct started early: bow-and-arrow lessons at four, selling a mop at six, and developing summer camps and afterschool curriculum with the Enrichment Project as a teenager. Music studies in England and a career building businesses followed.
I’ve learned by getting involved: making decisions, working with people, and carrying responsibility for what comes next.
There’s a lot beyond the work, too. Three kids. Mountains. Community. Helping someone find their footing and start again.

We started as the customer. Overcy grew from a need inside my own businesses: turn AI’s potential into practical work. Today, that means custom voice and text agents, implementation, and real human support.
