Owner and Producer

After being introduced to John Grisham and A Few Good Men, I figured I'd be a lawyer. 

But in the early 2000's I found myself adrift in the deep south of the United States. 

I did what anyone would in this situation: became a barista.

What a time to be alive. The pretentiousness of specialty coffee was palpable in those days.

I bought VHS latte art tutorials. Need I say more?

I found my way onto the campus of Holmes Community College. Two years later, Dan Harmon decided to make a hit TV series roughly diagramming my many years there.

I quit my job at least 2.5 times over the course of 10 years. But they kept pulling me back in and I kept pulling espresso shots through college.

I made my way to Millsaps College and graduated after another several dozen weeks of self-deprecation with a business degree so well rounded the diploma still rolls off my desk.

It was 2012. The earth was still warm. I was a somewhat educated, somewhat experienced graduate. I accepted a management role at Cups. I got married. We bought a home. I was nearing the end-game.

A rift appeared in my sanity. I returned to college to take a summer Calculus II course.

I was intoxicated by all the math and science that I'd overlooked for the first thirty years of my life.

Sparked mainly by a restless discontent that would confuse Steinbeck and a love of the show Lost, I figured I'd study some physics and get an engineering degree.

I got halfway there; the harder half too, from what I understand...so I basically have an engineering degree.

We had our first child and enjoyed it so much we kept going.

Formal education was again put out of my life. I grieved. I found freeCodeCamp, YouTube and the pure days of MOOCs (looking at you, MIT).

I learned to code, I dabbled in data, I began to write, I made some videos, I listened to hours of podcasts, I built and butchered websites. 

Accepting a remote role (still at Cups), I moved back home to the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee and took up ultrarunning.

The world fell apart, but I had already gone remote before it was cool. I ran some more. I began using LinkedIn on the regular. I began to see gray hairs in my beard.

We bought a mini van.

I'm currently writing a tech newsletter, growing a YouTube channel, publishing a daily reflection on addiction, reading a bunch of books and not watching any sports.

Excel Data Specialist

Upwork

Need to import data files? Automate your workflow? Track your expenses or manage your data? Let me build a spreadsheet for you!

With an eye for design, a gift for efficiency, and a deep understanding of what Excel can do, I'm building spreadsheets that work for you, instead of you working for them.

Windsor Securities Inc

As the chief spreadsheet architect, I partnered with our IT department of one to gather and import raw data into our databases, calculate proprietary values and stats, and create custom graphs and reports.

I possess extensive experience with MS Excel, VBA, and databases, primarily MySQL and MS Access. My greatest asset is seeing how disparate pieces can come together in a unified, efficient process.

Research Coordinator

Calvary Chapel-Delaware County

Leading a children's ministry isn't about teaching kids about God, it's about raising up and equipping parents to teach their kids about God.

That was our focus as I led teams of volunteers to:
1. Bring the world-wide evangelical Awana program to Sunday mornings, uniting children and parents in Scripture memorization and Bible study
2. Create community outreach events where families - both churched and un-churched - gathered for fun and fellowship
3. Engineered family discipleship events and moments to bring families together around God's word and to provide parents with tools for at-home discipleship

Your business runs on data. The problem is that data isn’t where you need it to be. Instead . . . 
• Your employees are manually typing data from one system into another
• The software that can organize your data is too complex, too expensive, or just doesn’t do what you need
• The spreadsheet you started moved past the limit of your Excel knowledge

That’s where I come in, because you don’t need a spreadsheet; you need a solution. With 25+ years of experience creating spreadsheets, macros, and databases, I will use Excel to build a custom solution to your problem. 

Here are just a few ways I can improve your business:
➊ Process Automation. Need to transfer and manipulate data from QuickBooks, Shopify, or an in-house computer system? I’ll use macros and PowerQuery to import your raw data and put it exactly where you need it. 

With process automation, reduce the amount of time spent on monotonous tasks by 75% or more. I converted one client’s six-hour, heavily manual workflow into a 50-second macro that runs at the push of a button. 

➋ Custom Quote and Invoice Templates. Need a way to quickly and easily create a professional, comprehensive quote for prospective clients? I’ll help you consolidate your material and services price lists; incorporate margins, taxes, and fees; and create a quote that will clearly show your client what they’re getting and how much they’re paying.

I will work with you to craft a custom-built solution that incorporates the elements unique to your business. I’ve designed quote templates for businesses as diverse as builders, studios, and event planners. 

➌ Business Intelligence Visualizations. Your business runs on data. To thrive, you need that data at your fingertips. I will organize your raw data into dynamic tables and graphs that provide you the actionable insights you need. 

I won’t provide you with “off-the-shelf” calculations. Instead, I’ll work directly with you to provide the exact numbers you need in the format that works best for the way you process information.
