About Alex

Operator first.
Advisor second.

"I've worn a lot of hats — engineer, operator, salesperson. That combination is what actually moves the needle."

My background is a mix that doesn't fit neatly into one box — engineering training, small business operations, and hands-on sales experience. I've worked on the floor, managed teams, closed deals, and rebuilt processes from scratch. That combination is exactly what makes me useful to small businesses: I can think in systems and I know how to sell.

Through Mill Mtn Solutions, I work with founders and small teams across all kinds of industries — not just technical ones. Whether you run a service business, a retail operation, or a growing startup, the fundamentals of building something that works are the same.

How I work

Collaborative by design.

01
Listen first

Before any recommendations, I spend time really understanding your business — your goals, your team, and what's actually holding you back.

02
Diagnose honestly

I tell you what I see — including the things that aren't fun to hear. No fluff, no buzzwords, just a clear read on what needs to change.

03
Build together

We work side by side. I'm not just handing you a deck — I'm in the weeds with you, helping build and implement what we agree on.

04
Iterate & improve

Good strategy evolves. I stay engaged as you execute, so we can adjust quickly and make sure the work actually sticks.
