I didn’t start Flightline because I wanted to be a consultant. I started it because I was tired of propping up systems that were never built to last.

I’ve worked across industries—hospitality, restaurants, tech, healthcare—and in every environment, the same patterns showed up. People were burning out trying to hold broken systems together. I learned how to design better ones.

In every role, I was the person who filled the gaps, kept things moving, and made sense of the chaos. I designed systems that helped leaders make better decisions and teams work more clearly. A lot of my best work lived behind the scenes. It wasn’t about credit. It was about building something real.

Eventually, I realized I couldn’t keep doing that from the inside. When I left, I didn’t blow things up. I built a transition plan, handed things off, and stepped away without a backup plan. Not out of impulse, but out of clarity. I knew I wanted to help people build it right from the start.

That’s what Flightline is for. I work with leaders who are ready to grow without burning their people out. I help teams trade improvisation for real infrastructure. I’ve carried the weight before. Now, I help others build systems that carry it better.
