MEET KJ • THE MAN BEHIND THE MISSION
A STORY BUILT ON SERVICE, SURVIVAL, SALES, AND STRATEGY
KJ's story is not just about artificial intelligence. It is about service, commitment, resilience, business experience, and the desire to help people succeed.
KJ served in the United States Navy, including service aboard the legendary battleship USS Missouri (BB-63), during the Desert Storm era. His military experience helped establish a foundation of discipline, follow-through, teamwork, and mission-focused service.
After military service, KJ built a professional career spanning more than three decades in sales, management, customer service, entrepreneurship, and business operations. He understands the importance of building relationships, earning trust, solving customer problems, and helping businesses grow.
Over the years, KJ's work has involved automotive sales and management, business ownership, customer service, credit and finance-related assistance, training, and technology education.
But his journey has also included extraordinary personal challenges: KJ is a Stage 4 cancer survivor.
That experience reinforced his appreciation for life, family, purpose, perseverance, and helping others. Today, KJ combines those experiences with a new mission: helping businesses understand and implement artificial intelligence.
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
BUSINESS EXPERIENCE MEETS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
KJ The AI Guy helps businesses put artificial intelligence to work in the real world.
KJ leads business discovery, planning, strategy, implementation oversight, and client relationships. His technical team supports system design, development, automation, integration, testing, and deployment.
Clients benefit from one primary point of contact and access to technical resources appropriate to their project.
The process begins with the business goal, not the technology. Whether a company needs an AI receptionist, customer chatbot, voice agent, automation workflow, knowledge assistant, connected business system, or custom AI tool, the first step is understanding what the system should accomplish.
From there, the goal is to design, build, test, and implement a practical solution that fits the business.
