I build technology ventures the same way I build everything else — around people and place. These are products born from problems I lived firsthand in real estate, coaching, and the local church. Some are commercial, some are philanthropic. All of them are founded, owned, and operated from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
"Don't search for houses. Find a place you love."
Most home search starts with photos of houses. GrandRapids.RealEstate flips that — it starts with place. The platform maps more than 15,000 neighborhoods, subdivisions, and condo communities across thirteen West Michigan counties, and gives every one of them its own page: walkability, schools, parks, drive times, housing character, and the homes for sale inside it right now.
It doubles as the digital storefront for my brokerage work — and a blueprint for what hyperlocal real-estate media can look like in any city.
Helping the Church see itself — and its city — on one map.
The Church Map is a philanthropic venture: an interactive map of more than 241,000 churches across the United States, built so congregations can find each other, pray together, and partner across denominational lines. It treats the local church not as a list of addresses, but as a living network with a shared calling.
This one is mission, not margin. It exists to be the connective tissue the local church has been missing — launching first across Michigan, Texas, and California.
"Practice your faith, together."
Spiritual growth happens fastest in community — not alone. The Formation App gives churches and small groups a shared path through ten time-tested spiritual practices — prayer, scripture, generosity, service, sabbath, and more — each with five levels of progressively deeper practice.

Turn today's activity into tomorrow's forecast.
In real estate, production is a lagging indicator — by the time a deal closes, the work that earned it is months old. Compass KPI tracks the leading indicators (calls made, listings taken, buyers signed) and converts them into a transparent forecast of near-term production, then holds that forecast accountable against what actually closes.
Compass KPI grew directly out of my coaching work with agents at FourthReason — it's the system I wished every client already had. Mobile-first, in active development.
Whether you want to partner, invest, or write code — if technology serving real communities sounds like your kind of work, let's talk.
