The Story

I chose the problem nobody talks about.

There are 10,000 people teaching you how to get clients. Almost nobody is talking about how to keep them.

I built Latch AI because I watched great businesses lose clients they never should have lost. Not because the service was bad. Because nobody noticed the silence until it was too late.

Latch is an AI-native retention engine that connects to the tools you already use, catches early signals of churn, and helps you act before the client is gone.

Before Latch, I founded Road Coffee Co., building a values-driven company from the ground up. That experience taught me what it takes to build something real and keep it growing.

I also created the Five Tanks FrameworkTM because the founders who build the best businesses are the ones who don't burn out getting there. Your emotional, mental, spiritual, relational, and physical tanks determine everything.


What I write about.

Every email, every post, every conversation traces back to one of these.

AI + Business
How to use AI to unlock your genius, build with leverage, and stop doing work that doesn't need you.
Retention as Growth
Client retention as a growth strategy. The best client you'll ever win is the one you already have.
The Five Tanks
Emotional. Mental. Spiritual. Relational. Physical. Know which tank is low before it starts running your life.
