From supply chain optimization to transportation equity research, I bring 10+ years of hands-on logistics experience and civic data expertise to every engagement. No theory without practice.
Most transportation consultants have studied the industry from the outside. I ran a logistics company in the Inland Empire from 2013 to 2017, managing freight, coordinating routes, and navigating the daily operational realities that keep supply chains moving.
That experience shapes every recommendation I make. When I suggest a route optimization strategy or a compliance workflow, it is grounded in what actually works when a driver calls at 5 AM with a problem, not what looks good in a slide deck.
I also bring a civic dimension to transportation work through my involvement with Every Place Counts and the U.S. Department of Transportation's Leadership Academy, where I developed expertise in transportation equity and data-driven advocacy for underserved communities.

Read articleCommon questions about transportation consulting engagements
A typical engagement starts with an operational audit covering your freight workflows, route structures, carrier relationships, and compliance posture. From there, I deliver a prioritized roadmap with specific recommendations for cost reduction, efficiency gains, and technology integration. Engagements range from a single-day strategy session to multi-month implementation support depending on your needs.
I bring direct operator experience from running a logistics company in the Inland Empire from 2013 to 2017. That means I understand the real constraints of freight operations, not just the theory. You get senior-level attention on every engagement, not a junior analyst, and recommendations that account for the practical realities of running trucks, managing drivers, and meeting shipper expectations.
Yes. Freight carriers, owner-operators, and logistics brokers in the Inland Empire are a core part of my client base. The region is one of the busiest freight corridors in the country, and I understand the specific pressures that come with operating here: tight margins, CARB compliance, driver retention, and the constant push to move more freight with fewer resources. I help carriers identify where they are losing money, tighten operations, and adopt technology that fits their actual workflow without disrupting day-to-day runs.
Absolutely. Electronic Logging Device compliance, FMCSA regulations, and fleet management software integration are areas where small and mid-size carriers frequently need outside expertise.

Company size ranges from owner-operators and small regional carriers to mid-size logistics companies and government programs. The common thread is a need for practical, data-driven guidance from someone who has been in the operational seat.
