I speak to MSP leaders, ministry leaders, and audiences trying to use technology without being ruled by it. The common thread is practical leadership: clear decisions, honest limits, and work that still makes sense once everyone goes home.
MSP and technology events
These sessions draw from nearly three decades in IT and my current work leading a vCIO team. They are for owners and leaders who need to make their businesses clearer, steadier, and less dependent on heroic effort.
- Leading an MSP without becoming the bottleneck
- What a useful vCIO conversation sounds like
- Near Miss: preventable IT failures and better client expectations
- AI for MSP leaders: practical use, client-data boundaries, and questions worth asking
Ministry and church events
I spent 15 years in rural youth ministry and still preach in small churches. These sessions are built for the pastor, volunteer, or church board with a real congregation to care for and very little spare capacity.
- Rural ministry is different out here
- The bi-vocational pastor’s survival guide
- Rural youth ministry with three to fifteen students
- Technology and the local church: what helps and what can wait
- Faithful leadership in the age of AI
AI sessions
AI is not a strategy by itself. I help leaders talk plainly about where it saves time, what information should never enter a prompt, and what responsibility cannot be handed to a tool. Business and ministry audiences receive different examples, not the same talk with a new title.
