A Technologist that Understands Mortals

I'm Brian Mickley, a 22 year Air Force veteran with 21 additional years as a business owner and university lecturer. Today I'm a technology consultant with a particular passion to help small businesses improve dramatically. I bring clients 4 decades of technology and business accumen, and enough office experience to last a lifetime! I promise results. My track record speaks for itself.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED or you don't pay.

With 40+ years managing business systems and building successful enterprises, I am all about helping small businesses enjoy champagne results on a beer budget.

Think of me as your technology co-pilot, helping guide you through a literal tsunami of technological change. Together we'll reach clear skies. We'll improve efficiency, decrease effort and errors, and, we'll make it all amazingly affordable.

When we're done, your workflows will run a puppy chasing the mailman (in a good way).

Professional Journey

My technology journey began in 1984 with a Commodore 64 -- really! -- and has continued to this day. In high-stakes positions where failure wasn't an option, I survived by mastering office technology and teaching myself how to turn chaos into clockwork. This experience taught me that even the most complex operations can be streamlined with the right approach and tools.

With five successful companies under my belt and a master's in Information Architecture (targeted focus on small business), I understand both the technical and human sides of business automation. This unique combination allows me to see what's broken and how to fix it in ways that make sense for your team and budget.

Common problems meet proven fixes in ways that transform businesses:

Business tools can clash, and data can get 'stuck' → I create seamless integrations that make your systems work as one unified tool.
Doing by hand what can be automated wastes payroll hours → Let me automate the tedious tasks, freeing your team to focus on what truly matters.
Repetition is costly; repetition leads to mistakes → I build reliable systems to keep your business data accurate and accessible.

The result? Business owners reclaim their time, teams operate with newfound efficiency, and companies scale up without the growing pains. It's about more than just automation – it's about giving you back control of your business and the freedom to focus on growth.
