I've Seen What
Small Businesses Need.
Now I Build It.

The story behind Beltway AI.

I grew up watching my dad build something from nothing. He started a commercial general contracting company — Area Construction Group — and grew it into a business managing people, systems, and complex, real-world projects. I saw firsthand what it takes to run a company: constant decisions, incomplete information, and the pressure of keeping everything moving. He was exceptional at his craft, but like most business owners, the operational side was harder — and often unsupported by the right tools. Over time, he expanded into commercial real estate, but what stayed with me were the gaps: the inefficiencies, the administrative burden, and the reliance on instinct where better systems should have existed.

Years later, I found myself in a similar position — running a State Farm insurance agency. I managed a team of four and helped increase annual revenue by approximately 82% over three years. I was responsible for marketing, hiring, compliance, accounting, training, sales, SEO, and daily operations. Working closely with business owners across industries, I saw the same patterns repeatedly: missed leads, manual processes piling up, and strong teams slowed down by operational friction.

When tools like ChatGPT first became publicly available, I was an early adopter. I approached it with a practical lens — not just what it could do, but where it actually created value in a business setting. That interest developed alongside my academic work. I'm currently completing my B.S. in Management Information Systems with a 4.0 GPA, studying how systems are designed, secured, and implemented at scale. The combination of formal training and hands-on experimentation has shaped how I approach AI: not as a novelty, but as a tool that must integrate cleanly into real workflows.

Over the past six months, I've taken a focused deep dive into AI — how these systems function, where they break, and how to deploy them in ways that are practical, secure, and aligned with business goals. I also understand that working in AI requires continuous learning. The technology evolves quickly, and staying effective means constantly studying, testing, and refining. That discipline is part of the job.

That's why I started Beltway AI — to help businesses implement systems that actually work.

I grew up in Montgomery County, Maryland. The DMV isn't just a market — it's home. I focus on helping the businesses that keep this region running: contractors, property managers, agencies, and service-based companies. People who are great at what they do — and deserve systems that work just as hard as they do.
