Straight, senior advice for the decisions that don't come with a manual — a job move, your résumé, a big purchase, or getting AI and tech to actually work for you.
First call's free. No pitch, no pressure — just tell me what's on your plate and I'll tell you honestly if I can help.
Everybody needs one person, older and calmer, they can run things by. That's the whole idea.
If you've got a decision on your plate and nobody senior to run it by, you're exactly who I built this for.
Your résumé keeps disappearing into the void and you're starting to wonder if it's you or the robots.
You've got a job offer on the table and no unbiased person to help you think it through.
You're a new grad, a parent, or mid-career and just need someone to talk out the next step.
You know AI could save you hours but you have no idea where to actually start.
You run a small business and the tech side has quietly become a second job.
You've got a big money or life call coming and you just want a clear way to think it through.
No jargon, no lectures. We start where you are and get you to a clear next step.
The market's tough right now. I've hired people, been hired, and know how the systems actually screen you.
The useful parts of AI and tech, translated for a real person's life or small business.
A calm, structured way to think through the calls that keep you up — so you decide with confidence.
A note on money talk: I help with budgeting, organizing, and clear decision frameworks. I don't give specific investment recommendations or manage money — when that's what you need, I'll point you to the right licensed professional.
15–20 minutes. Tell me what's on your plate. I'll tell you straight if and how I can help.
One good hour on the thing that's actually stuck. You leave with a clear next step.
A small package for a full job search or bigger project — only if it's worth it to you.
Small-group sessions on résumés, the modern job search, and AI for everyday life.
No packages you don't need. We scope the smallest thing that solves your problem.
I spent about 29 years in tech — most recently as a Senior Director of Business Operations & Automation at AWS, and before that at Bloomberg. I'm a FinOps Certified Practitioner. That's the résumé.
But the reason people run things by me isn't the title. It's that I explain things straight, without the jargon, and I actually pick up the phone. I've hired people and been hired. I've built teams, made the wrong call and the right one, and weighed the same big decisions you're weighing now.
I'm based in Plainfield, New Jersey, and I work with people online and around central NJ. I also serve on a couple of local boards, because community matters to me.
Early client stories will live here. Want to be one of the first? The intro call's free — let's fix something on your plate and see how it goes.
"Tom rewrote my résumé and I started getting callbacks within two weeks. He explained exactly why it wasn't working."
"I was drowning in tools. In one session he set me up with AI that saves me a full afternoon a week."
"I had two job offers and no one to talk to. An hour with Tom and I knew exactly which one to take."
These are illustrative examples, shown while the first real testimonials come in.
Grab a free 15-minute slot and tell me what's on your plate. If I can help, we'll book a session. If I can't, I'll point you to someone who can.
