Hey —

My 3-year-old figured out how to unlock my phone last week. Can't tie his shoes, but he knows where the YouTube app is. Now imagine that kid in 15 years, showing up to your job site...

WHO'S BEHIND THIS?

I'm an electronics tech who fixes machines that break at 3am. I also have two kids under 4 and about 20 hours a week to build stuff on the side.

I got into AI because I needed to move faster — not because I'm a tech person. I built ShowFloor.ai to help my brother-in-law visualize flooring for customers — he used it to close a $15K contract. I run WestchesterAI.com helping local businesses figure out AI. And I built TrustedLocalContractors.com to connect homeowners with real contractors in the Hudson Valley.

This newsletter is what I wish someone sent me when I started — the tools that actually work, without the hype.
