About
Operator first.
Systems builder by trade.
I build AI systems for local businesses. They answer the phones, follow up with every lead, and run the marketing. It all lives in Business Hub OS, one system any business owner can plug in and put to work. Calls get answered day or night, every lead gets followed up automatically, and no customer slips through the cracks.
Before this, I spent years building CRMs, automation, and AI phone agents inside other people's businesses. Business Hub OS is all of that in one place. The road here ran through real estate, property management, remodeling, fleet automation, and mental-health clinics, operating businesses first, then building the systems they needed.
What I'm building
Business Hub OS, today
One system that runs the front of your business: the phone gets answered, every lead lands in one place, follow-up happens on its own, and appointments get booked while you are doing the actual work.
businesshubos.com →AI receptionist
Answers every call 24/7, handles the common questions, qualifies the caller, and books the appointment, nights, weekends, and while you are on a job.
Missed-call text-back
The moment a call is missed, the caller gets a text and the conversation keeps going, instead of them calling the next company on the list.
CRM & pipeline
Every contact, conversation, and next step in one place. No more leads living in a notebook, a voicemail, and somebody's memory.
Automated follow-up
Texts and emails that follow up on estimates, quotes, and quiet leads until people reply. Written once, sent every time, never forgotten.
Website chat agent
An AI agent on your site that answers questions and captures the lead at 2 in the afternoon or 2 in the morning.
Booking & reminders
Online scheduling with confirmations and reminders, so appointments show up instead of turning into no-shows.
Built for local service businesses: contractors, home services, clinics, and other owner-run shops that lose work every week to missed calls and slow follow-up.
