Michigan Corporate AI Trainer
On-site, hands-on AI training and fractional leadership for companies across Michigan and the Midwest, from a real practitioner who shows up in the room. I am based in Michigan's Great Lakes Bay Region and I bring practical AI workshops directly to your team, wherever you work.
On-site across:
- Great Lakes Bay Region (home)
- Metro Detroit
- Grand Rapids & West Michigan
- Lansing & Ann Arbor
- The broader Midwest
- Plus virtual anywhere
Most AI Trainers Are Remote and Generic
- Coastal firms that only do Zoom calls and never set foot in your building or learn your floor.
- Off-the-shelf decks that ignore your industry, your tools, and the actual work your team does every day.
- A one-time webinar with no follow-through, so the momentum is gone by the following Monday.
- Junior trainers reading from a script who have never shipped a real AI system themselves.
- Nobody who understands Midwest manufacturing, B2B operations, or how work really gets done here.
You do not need another generic webinar from someone three time zones away. You need a practitioner who drives to your office, learns your workflows, and trains your people in person. That is what I do.

Corporate AI Training Across Michigan
My home base is the Great Lakes Bay Region, and that is where this work is anchored. I run on-site AI training for manufacturers, healthcare providers, and professional-services firms in Midland, Bay City, and Saginaw, where I can be in your conference room within the hour and back the next week to see what stuck. Being local means I can tailor a workshop to the chemistry plants, suppliers, agencies, and clinics that actually make up this region, instead of handing you a generic deck built for a tech startup in another state.
From that home base I drive on-site across the rest of the state. I train teams in Flint and the I-75 corridor, in Lansing for policy-minded and institutional organizations, in Ann Arbor for research-driven and technical firms, in Grand Rapids and West Michigan for the office-furniture, manufacturing, and healthcare employers concentrated there, and as far north as Traverse City for the tourism, agriculture, and professional businesses along the bay. Each engagement is shaped to the local industry mix, because AI for a precision machine shop is a different conversation than AI for a regional accounting firm or a hospital system.
Whatever the city, the format is the same: I show up in person, learn how your team actually works, and run a hands-on session in your own tools and documents. You do not get a lecture and a PDF. You get a practitioner who has shipped real AI systems sitting beside your people, working through their real tasks, and leaving them with workflows they will still be using a month later. That practical, statewide reach is what makes a Michigan-based trainer worth the drive.
Detroit B2B AI Consulting
Metro Detroit runs on B2B. The region is built around manufacturing and supply chain, automotive suppliers, professional services, and the agencies and firms that serve them, and those are exactly the businesses I work with. For Detroit-area B2B companies, AI is rarely about a flashy consumer app; it is about cleaning up quoting, speeding up documentation, supporting sales engineering, and getting consistent, compliant output across teams that touch sensitive customer and contract data. I bring AI consulting and training that respects those realities.
For automotive and industrial suppliers in particular, the stakes around data and IP are real. I help leadership set AI strategy, put sensible governance around what tools are approved and how customer and process information is protected, and then train the actual teams, estimating, operations, sales, and back office, to use AI safely and confidently. The goal is not to bolt a chatbot onto your website; it is to make your existing people measurably faster at the B2B work they already do, without creating a compliance problem for your largest accounts.
I deliver this on-site throughout the Detroit metro, from the suburbs out to the supplier corridors, so the work is grounded in your building and your systems rather than a generic webinar. Where a distributed sales force or multiple plants make in-person impractical for every session, I combine on-site kickoffs with virtual follow-ups so adoption actually sticks across the whole organization.
Midwest AI Integration Workshops
Michigan is home, but the Midwest is the neighborhood. I travel across Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota to run hands-on AI integration workshops for companies that want a practitioner in the room rather than a slide deck on a screen. The industries change a little from state to state, more logistics in Chicago, more manufacturing across Indiana and Ohio, more agriculture and insurance in the upper Midwest, but the need is the same: turn the AI hype into real, role-based workflows your team will actually use.
My approach travels well because it is practical, secure, and built around your roles, not a one-size webinar. An integration workshop starts with how your people work today, identifies the handful of places AI genuinely saves time, and then has your team practice those workflows in their own tools with safe data-handling habits baked in. Manufacturers, B2B firms, professional-services teams, and back offices all walk away with the same thing: concrete habits, a short list of approved use cases, and the confidence to keep going after I leave.
For multi-site organizations and distributed teams, I pair on-site sessions with virtual delivery so every location gets the same training regardless of geography. A multi-day trip can cover several offices in person, while remote teams join live and hands-on. The result is consistent AI integration across the whole company, anchored by the same Michigan-based trainer whether your people are in Saginaw, Cleveland, Indianapolis, or Minneapolis.
