About

Hi, I'm Jonathan.

I'm the founder of Flywheel Consulting and a fractional CIO for small and mid sized businesses. For years I've helped owners get more out of the technology they already have, most often in agriculture and the businesses that keep it running. Flywheel is based in Penngrove, in Sonoma County, California, and works with clients remotely across the US.

I started Flywheel because I kept meeting owners who were told they had a technology problem, when what they really had was a business problem that the right technology could quietly fix. I like being the person they can call, the one who translates all of it back into plain English and decisions they can actually make.

Why "Flywheel"

We believe in the power of the flywheel.

A flywheel takes effort to get moving. But once it's turning, it keeps your business going with less and less effort. You're already successful. My job is to find the changes that add momentum, so the whole thing runs smoother the longer it spins.

How I work

A few things I believe.

Plain English wins

No jargon, no acronyms for their own sake. If it doesn't help you make a decision, it's not worth saying.

If it's not documented, it didn't happen

Good systems don't live in one person's head. I build things your team can actually keep running.

Small changes, real momentum

We start with the few changes that matter most and build from there. Prove the value, then keep going.
