I help rental operators move off spreadsheets and phone bookings and onto a branded, self-service store — with a focus on self-storage, unmanned pickup and getting inventory under control.

I’ve spent my career inside rental operations, starting behind the counter where every booking was a phone call and every double-booking was an argument. That’s the ground truth I keep coming back to: software only matters if it fixes what actually goes wrong on a Monday morning. Over the years I’ve helped single-shop operators and multi-site fleets alike go 24/7 — self-storage facilities running without staff, tool and equipment shops adding smart-lock pickup, and teams finally seeing utilization in real time.

I write here about the operational decisions that quietly decide whether a rental business grows — pricing and occupancy for self-storage, setting up self-service safely, and keeping track of equipment across sites. When Sharefox publishes a guide on any of these, it usually went through me first.
