About

Twenty years of running technology and the budgets that go with it — now applied to your farm.

The Short Version

I’m a former small business CTO earning an MBA with a concentration in Accounting (expected 2027). I spent twenty years running technology and the budgets that go with it — and I’m now applying that experience to farm and agribusiness operations.

Most farm business advisors come from accounting or agronomy. I come from twenty years of making technology work within real budgets, with no room for failure. I’m adding the financial training to match because the gap between technology decisions and financial decisions is where farms lose the most money.

The Longer Version

I spent twenty years inside technology organizations — from helpdesk to senior leadership, from frontend code to board-level strategy. I ran technology for a small manufacturing company where no budget existed for “innovation,” but the systems had to work anyway. I built teams across three continents, managed crisis responses, and learned what it actually costs when technology strategy and business strategy aren’t speaking the same language.

Orion Leap is the consulting practice that grew out of those years. It exists for one reason: small and mid-size businesses deserve access to senior leadership, not just vendors selling them the next thing.

That same lens is now being applied specifically to agriculture and agribusiness — sectors where the gap between technology decisions and financial decisions is often widest, and most expensive.

Why the MBA

I’m earning an MBA with a concentration in Accounting from an AACSB-accredited program (expected 2027) because I want to bring the same rigor to the financial side of farm operations that I’ve brought to the technology side. The accounting concentration means my electives focus on financial analysis, managerial accounting, and the financial statements that tell you whether your operation is actually making money — not just the technology that runs it.

The Business

Orion Leap is a Wyoming limited liability company operating remotely. I work with independent farm and agribusiness operators who need someone on their side of the table — someone who understands both the technology and the economics.
