YOUR NEXT FRACTIONAL CEO MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT BUSINESS DECISION YOU MAKE.
Some executives understand technology. Others understand sales. Some specialize in managing employees, improving operations, developing leadership teams, or growing businesses.
KJ brings these disciplines together. With more than 30 years of hands-on experience in business, automotive operations, entrepreneurship, financing, consumer credit, customer relations, sales leadership, business development, and training, KJ brings practical experience to executive leadership conversations.
Today, as the founder of KJ THE AI GUY, he combines his background in business with artificial intelligence, smartphone technology, automated communications, CRM systems, and modern operational strategies.
His mission is to help new, small, midsize, and large companies improve operations, strengthen teams, serve customers more effectively, and prepare for the future.
U.S. NAVY VETERAN — SERVICE, LEADERSHIP, AND DISCIPLINE
KJ proudly served five years in the United States Navy, including service aboard the historic USS Missouri (BB-63). His service included the period of Operation Desert Storm.
During his Navy career, KJ developed principles of teamwork, discipline, accountability, preparedness, and leadership. He received a Command Advancement Award in 1988 aboard the USS Missouri.
These experiences helped establish the leadership philosophy he brings into the business world. KJ believes successful leadership is not simply about giving instructions. It is about developing people, building trust, solving problems, and helping teams accomplish their mission.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION
Following military service, KJ established a career in business and entrepreneurship. His background includes business ownership, sales leadership, automotive operations, consumer credit education, financing, customer advocacy, management, and professional training.

OVER 30 YEARS OF AUTOMOTIVE AND SALES EXPERIENCE
KJ brings more than three decades of experience in the automotive industry. His background includes automotive sales, dealership management, fleet operations, financing, consumer credit, customer relations, and business ownership.
He has worked with customers, sales professionals, managers, and owners to improve customer experiences and strengthen business operations. This experience has given KJ an understanding of the complete customer journey—from the initial inquiry through closing, financing, follow-up, and retention.
He recognizes that successful companies need effective leadership, reliable systems, well-trained employees, accountability, and customer trust. This is why KJ approaches AI implementation from a business perspective rather than treating technology as the solution to every problem.
RUN YOUR ENTIRE BUSINESS FROM THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.
For more than two decades, KJ has worked with smartphone technology and practical mobile technology training. His approach is based on helping business owners, executives, salespeople, and employees use technology effectively without requiring advanced technical knowledge.
Through KJ THE AI GUY, he helps organizations understand how smartphones, AI applications, automated workflows, CRM systems, and digital communications can operate together. His training emphasizes practical instruction, demonstrations, employee confidence, and real business applications.
CANCER SURVIVOR AND PERSONAL RESILIENCE
KJ is a stage-four cancer survivor. Facing a life-threatening illness strengthened his appreciation for perseverance, priorities, resilience, and the importance of time.
His experience reinforced his belief that business owners should make the most of opportunities and focus their energy on what matters. KJ understands that time is among the most valuable resources available to an individual or organization.
His work with business technology is partly driven by the goal of helping companies reduce repetitive administrative tasks, improve customer communications, and give employees more time for responsibilities requiring human attention.
KJ THE AI GUY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Many organizations struggle with missed customer calls, inconsistent follow-up, repetitive administrative work, inefficient scheduling, disconnected software, and communication challenges. KJ helps leadership teams evaluate these problems and identify appropriate technologies.
BUSINESS EXPERIENCE AND EXECUTIVE STRATEGY
KJ's professional background combines entrepreneurship, business operations, customer relations, sales leadership, management, training, and technology.
Before recommending major operational changes, KJ seeks to understand how a business generates revenue, manages employees, communicates with customers, and makes decisions.
He can assist leadership teams in identifying opportunities for improvement, establishing priorities, improving sales processes, and coordinating technology implementation.
AI DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
Effective technology implementation requires coordination between leadership, employees, and technical specialists.
KJ helps bridge communication between business decision-makers and technical implementation teams. His involvement can include reviewing technology workflows, evaluating project plans, assessing CRM processes, coordinating priorities, monitoring implementation milestones, and developing employee training programs.
