The smart-home and data contractor who automated his own company — now helping Kelowna businesses do the same.
Most small businesses keep hearing “you should be using AI” and have no idea where to start. I’m not an AI agency. I’m a working smart-home and data contractor — structured cabling, networks, Wi-Fi, fibre — who spent years building real AI tools to run Pfitztech — and I’ll help you find the few that are actually worth it for your business.

Plenty of consultants will sell you a slide deck. I’ve actually shipped working AI tools inside a real working business of my own, where a tool either earns its keep or gets deleted. Here’s what that looks like:
An ads analyzer that pulls my Google Ads data, scores account health, and tells me exactly where spend is being wasted — so the ad budget works harder.
An email assistant that triages incoming customer email, drafts replies, and flags anything that needs a human — with hard guardrails so it never quotes a price or commits on its own.
An operations system that replaced a $300/month job-management subscription with a setup that runs at a fraction of the cost — job board, scheduling, reminders, the works.
A marketing assistant that turns job-site photos into ready-to-post social content across every platform — approve-each-post, no autopilot.
Bookkeeping automation wired into QuickBooks for reporting and customer records — less time in spreadsheets, more time on the tools.
None of this is theoretical. It’s the difference between someone who read about AI and someone who uses it to keep a business running. That’s the perspective I bring to your business.
Kelowna businesses that want results, not a science project.
Real estate offices, construction firms, design studios, entertainment and events, professional services — the busywork is the same, only the workflow changes. If you run an owner-led business in the Okanagan, this is for you.
You’re busy and behind
Quotes, scheduling, invoicing, follow-ups, marketing — it’s all on you or a small team. You know automation could help but you don’t have time to figure out what.
You’ve been burned by hype
You don’t want a $50,000 agency project or a tool that needs a full-time person to babysit it. You want something practical that pays for itself.
You want plain answers
You want someone who’ll tell you straight which one or two things are worth automating — and which AI “solutions” are a waste of money for a business your size.
Three ways to work together — start small, scale only if it pays off.
Every engagement starts with the same question: where is your time actually going, and which piece of it can a machine do well? You only move to the next step if the last one earned it.

Intro call
A free 20 minutes. You tell me what’s eating your time; I tell you honestly if I can help.
Audit
A half-day mapping your workflows and finding the few automations actually worth doing.
Build
We pick the top one. I build it, test it, and put safe guardrails around it.
Handoff
I train your team, leave you owning the tool, and stay reachable while it beds in.
I speak small business, because I run one.
I’ve run a business, not just advised on one
I know what it’s like to chase the quote, do the actual work, invoice at 9pm, and still wonder if the marketing is paying off. The automations I recommend respect that reality — they save time, they don’t add a second job.
ROI first, always
If something won’t pay for itself, I’ll tell you. A short honest “don’t bother” is worth more than a long invoice for a tool you’ll never use.
Guardrails by default
Everything I build has limits baked in — what it can do on its own and what always goes to a human. AI should never be able to embarrass you or commit you to something.
You own it
No black boxes, no dependency trap. I set it up, I train you, and the tool is yours. If you never call me again, it still runs.
Straight answers.
Do I need to be “technical” to do this?
No. If you can run a business, you can do this. My whole job is to handle the technical part and explain the rest in plain language. You make the decisions; I do the setup.
Is my business too small for AI?
Almost certainly not. The businesses that get the most out of automation are small ones where the owner is doing five jobs at once. Pfitztech is a small owner-run Kelowna business — exactly the kind of operation these tools are built for, whether you’re in real estate, construction, design, entertainment, or anything else.
What kinds of work can actually be automated?
The usual high-value targets: email triage and replies, quoting and follow-up reminders, scheduling, social media drafting, bookkeeping and reporting busywork, and pulling insights out of data you already collect. The audit tells you which ones are worth it for you.
Will this replace my staff?
That’s not the goal and it’s rarely the result for a small business. The goal is to take the repetitive, after-hours, mind-numbing work off your plate so you and your people can do the work that actually needs a human.
What does it cost?
It depends on what you need — that’s what the free intro call and the audit are for. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts, and you can stop after any step.
