Liminal — the space between “what was” and “what’s next” — a time of transition, uncertainty, and waiting. The old world is gone, but the new world hasn’t revealed itself yet.
Strategic Transitions.
Scalable Systems.
Sustainable Growth.
At Liminal Ops Consulting, I partner with business owners and operators. My work is grounded in real-world experience, not theory, shaped by years of guiding a range of organizations — from startups to legacy businesses — through complex seasons.
Many business owners feel stuck fighting the same recurring problems that keep them from their vision. They’re the experts of their product/service, but they sometimes have missed out on the broader perspective that comes from working in a multitude of other successful business environments. Between juggling daily demands, big-picture goals, and everyday issues it can feel like momentum is just out of reach and at times, you’re walking the razor’s edge of success and failure.
I work alongside owners and operators who feel stuck spinning their wheels—fighting fires, chasing profit, and wondering why the same people and process issues keep resurfacing. Whether it’s unclear accountability, siloed teams, money leaking through gaps, or the stress of growth pushing people and budgets to the edge, I bring an experienced outside perspective and hands-on operational support to help you regain clarity, tighten execution, and get your business working as a unified system—so you can stop patching problems and start moving forward with confidence.
My goal is to help business owners enjoy watching their company thrive again. I’m passionate about contributing to Bozeman and Southwest Montana where healthy businesses support their employees, owners, and the community — because our small businesses are the heartbeat of Montana.
From restructuring teams and refining operations to navigating leadership changes or scaling for growth, I’ve helped organizations move through uncertainty toward alignment. If you’ve pinpointed the challenges or are still uncovering them, I’d welcome the opportunity to learn more and explore how I might support your next chapter.
Based in Bozeman, Montana.
Mission
Empowering small businesses with budget-friendly, executive-level guidance to build resilient systems, continue steady growth, and lead strategic change.
In my experience, making executive-level strategy practical for small businesses takes more than templates and sitting on the sidelines — it calls for a thoughtful mix of proven operational methods and the right automation tools. Executing a vision that doesn’t exist yet takes humility, openness, and a willingness to break old habits and try new ways. I partner closely with owners and leadership teams to regain clarity, build momentum, and tackle growth or change with confidence. From restructuring teams and fine-tuning day-to-day processes to navigating leadership shifts or scaling for the future, I help businesses get unstuck.
Vision
Building healthy, thriving businesses where people love to work — empowering them to grow sustainably, engage employees meaningfully, and uplift the communities they call home, creating a ripple effect of prosperity and resilience with whatever they touch.
I’m driven to see local businesses become pillars of opportunity and wellbeing — places where owners, employees, and neighbors all share in the rewards of sustainable success. There’s nothing more fulfilling to me than helping Bozeman and Southwest Montana thrive through strong, people-centered businesses that keep our communities vibrant. After all, I believe our small businesses are our heart beat.
