Founder of Vectis | AI Search Revenue Protection
I'm a business operations leader and AI systems builder helping companies protect revenue as customers shift from traditional search to AI-generated answers. I bring 11+ years of process and operational leadership from UPS and Brinks, including 7 years as an Industrial Engineer at UPS. Today, I apply that discipline to AI visibility monitoring and automated revenue-protection workflows.

In 2025, I asked ChatGPT for the best HVAC contractor in my area. It named three companies. My neighbor's business - a 20-year veteran with 200+ five-star reviews - wasn't mentioned. He was invisible to AI.
That moment made me realize: ranking #1 on Google doesn't matter if AI assistants don't know you exist. The game had changed, and most small businesses hadn't even heard the new rules.
Lumper Co. helps service businesses nationwide get recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. We use a proprietary methodology called Proof Density™ to structure your digital presence so AI assistants trust and cite you.
Before I started helping companies protect revenue in AI search, I spent 11 years doing work where the margin for sloppy thinking was basically zero.
I spent 7 years at UPS as an Industrial Engineer, assigned to four satellite buildings across Chicagoland and Indiana. That job was planning, process improvement, and asking the same uncomfortable question over and over: where is the system leaking time, money, or capacity?
After UPS, I managed the coin room for Brinks in Chicago for 4 years. Every day, my team was responsible for balancing roughly $22 million in inventory. Not "close enough." Balanced. Accounted for. Trustworthy. When the numbers don't tie out, you don't hand-wave it. You find the gap.
That's the same muscle Lumper Co. uses for GEO and AEO work. Different arena, same problem. Your business can be the right answer and still get missed by AI systems if the signals are messy, incomplete, or poorly structured. That's not just a marketing issue - it's revenue walking out the side door.
So no, I didn't come into AI search from the "growth hack" world. I came from systems, controls, integrity, and continuous improvement. Less glitter, more scrupulous operational checklist. But honestly? That's exactly what this work needs.
A lumper combines separate things and arranges them in a specific order to create synergy - where the whole becomes greater than the parts.
That's the job. Most businesses have the pieces - reviews, content, mentions - but AI systems need them combined and arranged into one coherent, trustworthy entity. Pieces alone don't convince. The arrangement does.
Lumper Co. creates that synergy. Same instinct from UPS and Brinks: spot the gap, connect the pieces, deliver the result, maintain - always account for variable change.
