Why Barnabas Coaching?

There's no shortage of AI consultants. Here's what makes this different.

🎯

Track record, not trend-chasing

Aaron has been at the leading edge of technology twice before. He doesn't chase what's new. He evaluates what's proven, what's ready, and what fits your specific business.

🔍

Honest about what AI can't do

Most AI consultants want to impress you with possibilities. Aaron's job is to tell you the truth, including when the right answer is "not yet" or "this one's not worth your time."

🤝

Owner-to-owner

Aaron has run his own businesses for over 8 years. He understands cash flow, hiring decisions, and what it means to make bets with your own money. He's advised from experience, not a presentation deck.

About Aaron

He's been at the bleeding edge before.

In the late 1990s, Aaron was writing VoIP routing code before the term "VoIP" was in common use. Skype launched four years later. He joined Microsoft at 24, working on MSN Messenger, one of the first products to prove that millions of people would shift a core communication habit to the internet.

He's seen what it looks like when a wave hits: the confusion, the urgency, the organizations that move early and win, and the ones that wait and play catch-up for years. AI is that wave, right now. Barnabas Coaching exists to help Seattle business owners get on the right side of it.
