Learn to Use AI
Like It's 2027.
30+ years in enterprise IT. 12 years in the Navy. Now helping professionals in Maryland get real value from AI — without the hype, jargon, or BS.
Trusted by Professionals Across Maryland
AI is everywhere. Useful AI is rare.
Most people have tried ChatGPT. Almost no one uses it well. They type in a vague question, get a generic answer, and conclude AI is overhyped.
The problem isn't the tool. It's the approach. Using AI effectively is a skill — and like any skill, it requires structured instruction, practice, and feedback. That's what I teach.
No theory. No hype. Just practical frameworks that turn AI from a curiosity into a daily productivity tool.
Three Ways I Can Help
Whether you want to learn AI, need a professional website, or want your own AI agent deployed — I deliver all three with clarity, no jargon, and no shortcuts.
1-on-1 AI Coaching Sessions
I teach you how to use Claude, ChatGPT, or Perplexity to get real work done — using your actual tasks, not textbook examples. You choose the tool. I build the plan around your work.
Professional Website Builds
Clean, fast, and modern websites for consultants, coaches, and independent professionals. Built with the same engineering discipline I applied to enterprise infrastructure — no shortcuts, no bloat.
Your Own AI Agent — Deployed and Ready
I set up Hermes Agent, an open-source AI framework by Nous Research, on your machine — connected to your messaging platform, configured with your AI provider, and ready to use the same day.
How I Work
Every coaching session follows a three-phase structure so you leave with something tangible.
Tool Selection
We identify which AI tool fits your work style. I explain the practical differences between Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity so you make an informed choice.
Prompting Framework
I teach you a structured method for writing prompts that get genuinely useful results — not generic, surface-level answers.
Real Work
We work through an actual task you brought — a report, an email, a project plan. You leave having done real work with AI.
What Clients Say
“Bennie didn't just show me ChatGPT — he showed me how to use it for my actual job. I walked in skeptical and walked out productive. Best $150 I've spent this year.”
Marcus T.
Small Business Owner, Hagerstown
“I've taken online AI courses before. None of them were as useful as one 90-minute session with Bennie. He cut through the noise and gave me a system I use every single day.”
Dr. Sarah K.
Healthcare Administrator, Frederick
“The website Bennie built me loads in under two seconds and looks better than anything my previous developer made. He explained everything clearly and delivered on time.”
