We believe Appalachia shouldn’t just keep pace — it should lead.
By equipping local businesses with modern systems and smart strategy, we’re building a region where prosperity is rooted in community, technology empowers people, and every Main Street flourishes.
We imagine an Appalachia that builds its own tools and doesn't keep handing money to Silicon Valley. That's why we dedicate 10% of every dollar in revenue to Deep Rooted Future Foundation to support local college work programs — giving Appalachian students hands-on experience designing and building tools that strengthen our local economy.
Main Street Intelligence is Appalachia’s ROI-Driven Operations Partner
We don’t believe in bloated systems, tech for tech’s sake, or doing things the way they’ve always been done. We believe in grit, clarity, and purpose. In tools that work and time that matters. In helping a business owner finally see what’s been slowing them down — and showing them how to fix it.
We believe Appalachia deserves better than copy-paste solutions built for someone else. That’s why we don’t just diagnose problems — we design better ways. For the shopkeeper in Johnson City. The café in Abingdon. The nonprofit in Greeneville.
We’re here to rebuild Main Street from the inside out. With sharp eyes, smart tools, and deep roots.
The average small business loses 20–30% of its time to inefficiencies. Main Street Intelligence exists to change that.
We help local businesses stop wasting time and start running smarter. By identifying the hidden inefficiencies costing you hours and dollars — from clunky systems to outdated workflows — we create clear, local-first strategies that get results.
Our clients reclaim dozens of hours per month, reduce overhead, and turn daily chaos into predictable momentum. Because in business, time is money — and operational clarity can be your distinct advantage.
We talk about time a lot—because time is the greatest return on the work we do. It’s not just what we save; it’s what we give back. Every business we help, every system we streamline, is ultimately about restoring your most valuable resource.
We don’t just enjoy what we do—we’re driven to over-deliver. It’s our joy to rescue lost minutes and hidden hours, and return them to the people behind the businesses: our new friends, our fellow builders.
As John Muir said, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” So plant the seed. Invest in your growth. Build something today that gives you shade tomorrow.

Over two decades in quality assurance has taught me one enduring truth: broken processes break businesses. From enterprise systems at WebstaurantStore to startup agility at Previstar, I've lived at the intersection of software quality and business continuity. I’ve led QA teams through cross-functional chaos, transforming vague requirements into laser-focused test strategies, and bottlenecks into blueprints for scalable systems.
But what truly sets me apart? I'm obsessed with process—not just testing it, but designing it, refining it, and embedding it into culture.
As a strategist, I don’t just look at negative trends—I zoom out to ask why they exist, and how upstream changes in planning, communication, or tooling could eliminate them entirely. I treat every workflow as a map for continuous improvement and every sprint as a lab for operational excellence.
Where others stop at remediation, I push forward into optimization.
