The Story

From Pharma Chemist to AI Founder

I didn't grow up planning to build AI companies. I started my career as a pharmaceutical chemist making $55,000 a year. The work was steady. The trajectory was flat. I wasn't building anything that was mine.

Four years later, I run two companies doing a combined $70K+ in monthly recurring revenue, with 40+ employees between them. I work from a lake house in Texas when I want to, or from anywhere else when I don't. I built the life by building systems — and I did it by learning AI before most service business owners knew what it could do.

The two companies

KingCaller AI ($50K/month) is an AI-powered sales automation platform built for weather-dependent businesses — roofers, HVAC companies, restoration shops. It answers calls, qualifies leads, and books inspections during storm spikes when human teams can't keep up.

SimpliScale ($20K/month) is the custom side. We build bespoke AI automation for service companies doing $1M+ a year. No generic SaaS templates. Every system is engineered around the operator's actual workflow — their CRM, their call flow, their sales process. Combined, our work has generated $108M+ in AI-driven sales for clients.

Why I only speak from operating experience

There's a flood of AI gurus on the internet right now. Most of them have never run an operation that hires, fires, schedules, or invoices. They're selling courses about a job they've never done. I don't do that. I share what I'm building, what's working, what broke, and what we fixed — because that's the only useful version of this conversation.

If you run a home service business doing seven or eight figures, and you're wondering what AI actually changes about your day-to-day — that's the conversation I'm in. Not theory. Not hype. The real mechanics of recovering missed revenue, compressing response times, and pulling owner-operators out of the inbox.
