About
What are your strengths?
I specialize in Virtual Business Support. This includes: Executive Assistance, Operations Administration, Project Management, and Consulting.

These qualities carry through in all my work - allowing client projects to be consistently completed on time and with accuracy.

I studied Marketing, Communications, and Business Administration in College and University; achieving a diploma, postgraduate advanced diploma, and bachelor's degree. From personal to corporate, I’m your go-to guy. When you enlist my help you gain peace of mind knowing that all the details will be taken care of.
What makes you the best fit?
My focus is partnering with and supporting entrepreneurs in achieving their vision. It's what I love and it's as simple as that.

Testimonials
Holliday Energy Law Group
"Over the past 18-months, AJ has become an essential part of my business. Simply put, AJ creates time. Time for me to focus on higher level strategic tasks, time with my family, time with clients. By taking ownership of tasks, and more importantly anticipating and executing on issues, AJ allows me to focus on serving clients and running the business.
I can be a tough combination of exacting in my expectations and under-communicative in what exactly that I'm looking for. AJ has been both patient and proactive in adapting to this, and even indirectly helped me get (a little) better at broadcasting what I'm looking for in a project/outcome.
AJ is accurate, thorough, (very) responsive, and very rarely needs more than 5 minutes of direction to complete a task. Perfect example - I wanted to explore having conference attendees be able to take batting practice at a Major League Baseball facility in Scottsdale on a certain date. That's pretty much the limits of my instructions. AJ set it all up, including roundtrip transportation, insurance, etc. My total time invested from idea generation to hitting baseballs - about 20 minutes. And it worked far more seamlessly than if I had planned it myself.
We've worked together and met once, as he practically organized a conference in February that my firm put on, and travelled to Arizona to ensure things went well. The distance (i.e. remote work) is no factor, and has not once caused an issue. In fact, I don't believe that I even knew where he was located for the first 6 months.
If you are looking for a team member that can make it happen, look no further." - Ben H, President
