About
I started building websites for local businesses between classes. Every problem a client brought me after the site went live pulled the work somewhere new, until the websites stopped being the point.
Edmonton, Alberta
I'm from Edmonton, and the businesses we build for are the ones I grew up around — contractors, movers, caterers, electricians. Companies that are genuinely good at the actual work and are still running the whole operation out of a spreadsheet, a scheduler and a group chat nobody can search.
I learned marketing because clients needed leads. Sales because nobody else was going to close them. Software because a client had a problem no off-the-shelf tool solved and somebody had to build it. That last one stuck.
It's not just me anymore — there's a team behind every build. What hasn't changed is that we're still on the hook after it ships. If something we built stops working at seven in the morning, it's my phone that rings — which is a good reason to build it properly the first time.
AltaPro AI is where the work happens now: custom operational software for businesses with crews, jobs and paperwork. Unconventional Group is the marketing side, and it's still running. Same team behind both.
If your process has outgrown the tools holding it together, call me. We'll tell you whether software is the fix.
The Journey
Unconventional Media, run out of the University of Alberta — websites and marketing for local contractors, movers and caterers. One client became two, two became ten, and then ten became a waiting list.
By 2024 the client work had outgrown a class schedule. People were waiting on me, the revenue was real, and every week I split between the two was a week the business grew slower than it could have. So I stopped splitting it.
Unconventional Media became Unconventional Group Inc. — a team, a standard, and every part of the work in-house. Websites, ads, lead generation, funnels; 50+ businesses across Canada.
They'd ask for a site and then, halfway through, mention the actual problem: quoting took four hours, the back office lived in five apps, nobody could say where a job stood without phoning someone. That's a software problem wearing a marketing problem's clothes. So I started building the software instead, and that work became AltaPro AI.
Most of my work is with software nowadays — operational software for established companies — crews, jobs, equipment, documents. Less "help me get found", more "our process outgrew the spreadsheets holding it together". I still run Unconventional Group. AltaPro AI is where the work is.
What I Run

Anyone can point at a problem. We build the thing that fixes it and stay on the hook for whether it works.
Your business isn't a template. Everything we build is fitted to how you actually operate.
Sites in days, systems in weeks — without cutting the corners that matter.
One point of accountability — me — with our team behind it, so nothing falls through the cracks between vendors.
