Your competitors are already automating tasks your team does manually — every single day. Every week without AI-powered operations is compounding margin you’ll never recover. The only question left is whether you close that gap now, or watch it widen.
I don’t consult from a distance. I embed directly in your operation, identify your highest-leverage problems, and ship working solutions — then back them with real numbers.
Most businesses are sitting on 20–40% of recoverable operational costs. I’ve found it in restaurant groups, financial firms, and software companies. The average client recovers more than my monthly fee within the first 30 days.
I work inside your existing tools — your Slack, your inbox, your PM stack. No new software mandates. No hand-off reports. Just a system your team actually uses, producing results you can measure.
You didn’t build your business by outsourcing accountability. Neither do I.
Hi, I’m Travis.
I’m not a "tech guru" who grew up in a basement. I’m a builder, a Veteran, and a father who learned early that systems create freedom.
I’ve spent 20+ years in banking and finance leadership, operating in high-pressure environments and managing complex teams across sales, customer service, and technology. Along the way, I built and scaled a software company to over $1M in revenue and launched businesses across three major cities — Chicago, Los Angeles, and Nashville.
My fiancé and I are both longtime business operators. We’ve lived the reality of building, leading, and growing organizations — not just talking about it.
I’ve led global teams, shipped real products, and learned how to turn systems into profit. I don’t just "use" technology — I use it to drive outcomes.
Today, I consult with small and mid-sized businesses to design systems powered by AI that reduce costs, increase revenue, and eliminate operational drag. I also work directly with leadership teams — from middle management to the C-suite — helping them leverage AI in a way that makes them sharper, faster, and more effective without burning out.
Because the goal isn’t to work harder. It’s to operate smarter — and win.
Now based in Nashville, I built Thriving AI to help business owners cut through the noise and actually apply these tools in a way that changes their business — and their life.
Outside of work, I’m a devoted fiancé, a dad, and someone who still believes in showing up with discipline every day. You’ll usually find me outdoors, traveling, or cheering (loudly) for Chicago sports teams.
My Promise to You:
I operate with the same honor code today that I did in the service. No upselling, no confusing jargon, just honest guidance to help you thrive.

“We didn't install software. We built a system the team actually uses. That's the difference between adding AI to a business and operationalizing it.”
— Travis
One session. One specific pain point. 20 minutes to see what this looks like for your business. If AI can fix a restaurant group's maintenance chaos, imagine what it can do for your spreadsheets, your inbox, or your P&L.
