What I'm building right now.
Army vet. 25+ years in the auto industry. Now I run my own ventures solo, with AI doing a lot of the work, from Wake County, NC. I update this page as things launch.
The trusted second opinion for everyday drivers. Free tools, honest guidance, advisory services, and a Model Context Protocol server. A service advisor wrote it, not AI, for the 90% of drivers who aren't mechanics.

- MED Vehicle Intelligence MCP shipped on Smithery. I built it solo.

- Three free lead magnets + AI Proficiency Assessment
