At home on the Coast
Small business is personal.
I grew up in a small-business family on the Central Coast. Dad has run an auto electrical and car air-conditioning business here for 37 years, since we moved up when I was six, and he's still at it in his seventies. My brother has run a car removal business on the Coast since about 2005.
Small business on the Coast supported me growing up, and it's who I want to help now.
After more than twenty years working at sea and in international yacht operations, I came home to raise my kids here.
When ChatGPT arrived I went all in. I trained in AI through UC Berkeley, became an AWS Certified AI Practitioner, and I'm now completing a Master of Artificial Intelligence at the University of New England as an ATSE Elevate Scholar. I'm also an admitted lawyer.
Coastie AI is how I help businesses on the Coast get found as search changes.
