It started as a workshop. It became Eagle Point.
Eagle Point Publishing didn't begin as the business it is today. It began as my workshop, a place where I built software because I enjoyed solving problems.
How the workshop became a business.
I've spent nearly three decades leading technology and business operations for organizations where downtime, missed handoffs, and bad information cost real money. Eagle Point was where I built things for myself. Voyage Keeper, my cruise logbook app, came out of that workshop. What To Do In The City (WTD) followed, turning five quick questions into one of the best planning tools you'll find for what to do in Portland or Seattle. Both remain works in progress. That's where the "Publishing" in the name historically came from. In addition to helping small businesses use automation to make more money, keep more of what they make, and get time back, Eagle Point publishes software designed to make people's lives easier and more enjoyable.
A workshop becomes a business when the work starts solving real problems for other people.
That is how Eagle Point grew: one practical problem at a time. I used the same approach inside larger organizations: understand the operation, find what is getting in the way, and build a fix that earns its keep. That approach became the foundation of the company.
Today, I lead Eagle Point as a deliberately small business outside my full-time role, which remains my primary professional commitment. I plan to serve a very limited set of customers, using carefully designed systems and automation to keep each engagement focused, useful, and efficient.
The business has changed since those early days, but the promise has not: listen closely, solve a real problem, and make sure the work earns its keep.

How I work.
I start with one problem you can see and measure, then build from there. I keep the customer roster intentionally limited so each engagement gets experienced judgment and continuity. A monthly retainer keeps the work moving without unnecessary meetings or layers of staff. Systems and automation handle the repeat work; I focus on deciding what matters and measuring the time or money each approved change returns.
- Dependable. Clear commitments and clear follow-through. No constant check-ins, no surprises on the invoice.
- Business-minded, not tech-minded. Every recommendation is grounded in what it does for your sales, your customers, and your margin.
- Partner, not vendor. Low ego, high collaboration. I build on what you're already doing. I don't replace it.
