Operations & program leader
I run operations. I also ship the software that runs them.
Twenty-six years building teams and systems in mission-driven organizations, the last thirteen in senior operations roles: budgets up to $600K, up to 8 staff, KPIs leadership could actually read. I also direct production software with Claude Code. I make the architecture calls and direct the build. The tools below are in daily use.
Open to Director of Operations and Program Director roles in Kentucky, hybrid or remote.
Track record
Retired $550K in debt two years ahead of a seven-year plan. Debt-free since.
- Finished a transition year $25K under a $585K operating budget, with every program and role funded.
- Held giving steady through a 46% pandemic attendance drop.
- Took member-care coverage from ~70% to ~100% across 186 households.
- Co-defined 12 KPIs with the Senior Minister and reported them to staff and leadership.
- Run the Taylor County Backpack Program, which serves 250+ students every week.
Software I've built
Notice puts your team's tasks and your people's care in one app, with a single Today list for both. After a staff meeting, upload the recording. Notice types it out and splits it by speaker. You name each voice, and it drafts the tasks with the right person on each one, plus a due date when someone said one. It started as an internal tool for a church staff and is now a subscription product.
In daily use by that church staff, with member care across a 366-person congregation.
More tools
Working apps I run in production, rebuilt to run safely in your browser on invented data. Try any of them.

Throughline
Local-first drawing and thinking practice for post-stroke recovery, from tracing and grip control to word-finding and reading a clock. In daily use by a stroke patient since July 2026, with the roadmap driven by feedback from practicing occupational therapists. Photosensitive-safety (WCAG 2.3.1) enforced architecturally through a CI gate, not left to code review.
-
Meal Roster
Plans a household's week from its own short list of loved meals: overdue favorites first, in season, with their usual sides and one grocery list. Draws on a 400+ recipe box with a Supabase backend. Demo runs on a sample of the recipes.
-
Personal Library
Catalogs 687 real books across physical, Kindle, and Audible. Point a phone at a cover and a vision model fills in the details. Search, filter, track reading and loans.
These three run entirely in your browser on invented sample data. No backends, no sign-up.
The tooling makes shipping cheap, so a couple of puzzle games came out of it too: Tracery and Star Grids. Both open in a new tab.
On my Mac
Two Mac apps I built for my own daily work. They aren't public yet, so there's no demo here.
-
Gloss
Dictation that types what you meant. Hold a key, talk, let go. It transcribes on the Mac, drops the false starts and "actually, I mean" corrections, and pastes clean text into whatever app is open. It's cautious on purpose: it never summarizes and never adds words.
-
Bloom
A menu-bar circle for file chores. Drop a file on it and it opens into the actions that fit: split a PDF, compress a video, pull text from a screenshot, transcribe audio. Everything runs on the Mac, AI included. Nothing is uploaded.

Speaking & teaching
I teach and speak alongside the operations work. I'm an adjunct instructor at Campbellsville University, teaching Christ and Culture online for the theology department. I've also taught classes on finances, leadership, and world religions, and I'm writing a series of sermon-based lessons for small groups.
