More homeowners are asking ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI chatbots who to hire, in addition to searching Google. Most contractors have no idea whether their name shows up, or how to be named.

AI Partners checks what those AI assistants and Google say about a business, shows the owner why they are or aren't being named, and then does the steady monthly work to build ChatGPT and Google's trust in their business.

We work with licensed contractors serving homes in the Portland metro area. While a contractor is on our monthly plan, we don't take on any other client in their trade in their county.

I have been a business owner for 18 years and a partner in three companies. But my BNI business, AI Partners, is my focus.

I grew up in Big Timber, Montana, moved to Forest Grove to attend Pacific University, and stayed in the area with my wife, Deena. We now have two kids: Molly (13) and Connor (15).

I started in real estate development and investment as an analyst and project manager, then spent years owning and running a multifamily property management company, and later co-founded a construction company.

I've been a member of the Entrepreneurs' Organization for eight years; it includes business founders whose companies have surpassed $1 million in annual revenue and want a community of fellow entrepreneurs who share the same problems and goals. It is not a networking group. I chair their EO Accelerator program for founders trying to reach their first million, and I coached 20+ founders in EOA over five years before this role. (Though it's a volunteer role - I don't offer business consulting services.)

Outside of work, BNI, and EO, it is mostly family. And slow walks with my 13-year-old golden retriever, Fiesta.
