About Lee

“Humans are funny ape-like creatures that create little gadgets to make their lives easier, but which actually make their lives more complex.”

-Douglas Adams

I have been a tinkerer and a problem-solver since I was a kid, and today I love discovering new technologies that make me more effective at my job, a technology coach, and give me more free time and peace of mind. Now I am using those same abilities to provide customized technology coaching and consulting services to entrepreneurs and soloprenuers ready to grow their business.

I started working on computers professionally ten years ago while stationed at an Army base in Heidelberg, Germany. Since then have done everything from working on a help desk for the California Secretary of State to designing a social networking strategy for a professional speaker, and I ran an IT consulting company for three years.

Most of the entrepreneurs and small business professionals I meet already have an “IT guy” to handle hardware issues, but they don’t have anyone to help them with strategic planning or individual training. I have also worked with many “soloprenuers” who don’t want to hire a consultant, but instead want a technology coach to help them to learn how to create and manage their own web site or blog.
