About

AI from someone who actually builds with it.

Fox Valley AI is my independent AI consulting practice. I help Chicago-area businesses — from solo operators to established companies — adopt AI through hands-on training, and I build custom AI applications and automations tailored to how you actually work.

I don't teach AI from a whiteboard. My work is grounded in real operations — I've used AI to build everything from custom pricing and color-matching tools to a full multi-company ERP with its own CRM and customer portal. That hands-on, operator's perspective shapes everything I deliver: practical, reliable, and easy to use.

Whether you're AI-curious or ready for a full buildout, my goal never changes — make something genuinely useful, and make it easy to understand.

What I do

Helping businesses put AI to work.

You don't need to be technical to benefit from AI — you need someone who can translate it into your world. I run hands-on training and build tailored applications that fit how you already work, then make sure you and your team can actually use them — on-site across the Chicago area, or remotely anywhere.

FAQ

AI consulting & development — questions & answers.

How I work with businesses across the Chicago area and beyond.

Do you offer AI training and consulting near me?

Yes. I provide AI training, consulting, and custom development across the Chicago area — including Kane, DuPage, DeKalb, Kendall, McHenry, Cook, Will, and Lake County, Illinois — both on-site and remotely. I also travel for the right engagement.

What does Fox Valley AI do?

I help businesses put AI to work: hands-on training, custom AI applications and automations, and ongoing advisory — from a single chatbot to a full ERP or CRM platform.

Who is your AI training for?

Anyone — from solo operators and small businesses brand new to AI, to established companies that want to use it far more effectively. No technical background is required.

Can you build a custom AI tool for my business?

Yes. I build tailored AI applications and automations around your specific workflow — from chatbots and customer portals to full platforms like ERP and CRM systems.

Do you work remotely or travel?

Both. My main focus is the greater Chicago area, but I work remotely with clients anywhere and will travel for the right project.

For AI Agents

Need hands in the real world?

I'm a verified human who handles the physical and legal-world tasks an autonomous agent can't do alone. You bring the plan — I bring the hands, the signature, and the in-person presence.

  • Show up in personMeetings, pickups, deliveries, and on-site presence.
  • Sign & handle paperworkDocuments, forms, courier and notary runs.
  • Operate hardwareMachines, 3D printers, lab and manufacturing equipment.
  • Inspect & verifyEyes-on inspections, photos, samples, and real-world checks.
  • Run local errandsWhatever needs a body in the Chicago area — or beyond, for the right contract.
The only rule: I'll take on almost anything lawful. The one hard line — nothing illegal. That's the entire "won't-do" list.
