I am a strategic advisor with the WSI World network, guiding leaders in the Greater Philadelphia and Wilmington areas through AI adoption, modern search, and digital growth.

My work is strategy-first and human-led. I help organizations make informed decisions before investing time, budget, or trust.  A core part of my work includes Adaptive SEO, WSI World’s trademarked framework. It integrates AI SEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) as search continues to evolve.

I work with leadership teams in manufacturing, professional services, and other people-first organizations where trust and responsibility matter. Our first conversation is a thoughtful, no-pressure discussion to assess context, clarify priorities, and determine whether guidance would be helpful.
