About

Blake is the kind of fractional CTO small business owners didn't know they needed until the moment they did. With deep roots in enterprise technology and a sharp eye for what actually matters at the SMB level, he translates board-level risk into plain language and turns AI anxiety into a 10-minute action plan. Whether he's auditing shadow AI, holding an MSP accountable, or helping a founder make a $300K tech decision in an afternoon, Blake moves with the confidence of someone who's seen the inside of both the server room and the boardroom. He doesn't just identify the problem. He owns the outcome.
