I'm a data nerd, and I mean that in the best way possible.
Messy data, clean data, data nobody has touched in three years, data that lives in five spreadsheets and tells a different story in each one. I love all of it. What I love more is helping people figure out what it's actually saying.
A data scientist who speaks plain English.
I'm the founder of SixFiftyThree Consulting, built on 15+ years of solving data and business problems for large organizations: forecasting engines, profitability models, and analytics platforms that executives actually used.
You get a trained data scientist with a background in finance and accounting who stays hands on with the code, the data, and the strategy, and who can explain any of it without making your eyes glaze over.
I don't drop off a report and disappear. I'm here for the whole journey, whether that's a one time analysis or a long term partnership.
The background behind the work.

Years in data and analytics
Forecasting engines, profitability models, and analytics platforms built for large, complex organizations.
MS

Master of Science in Data Science from Northwestern University.
BBA

Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and Finance from Loyola University Chicago.
Built at enterprise scale, focused on businesses like yours.
My career has lived at the intersection of finance, data science, and business strategy inside large, complex organizations. I've built enterprise data governance programs from scratch, rescued stalled BI initiatives, stood up forecasting systems that cut planning time in half, and built profitability engines that showed leaders exactly where they were making and losing money.
I grew up in Lake County, Illinois, around family who ran small businesses. That's a big part of why I started SixFiftyThree Consulting. The same problems that large companies throw teams and budgets at are usually the same ones holding a smaller business back, just without the team and budget. That's where I come in.

Where the name comes from.
653 is a number that has followed me through some of life's most pivotal moments and transitions. Data goes through something similar. It gets collected, transformed, and given a purpose. That's the idea behind SixFiftyThree Consulting. I don't just organize numbers, I look for the pattern inside them, the same way you start to notice a number that keeps showing up at the right moments in your own life. Finding that pattern is what turns data into direction.
If your data isn't working as hard as you are, let's fix that.
Give me a call. No pressure, no agenda, just a conversation about what you're up against.
