Practical Strategy for Small Business Growth
Business advising, operations, and agritourism expertise grounded in real-world experience
Why Root Down?
Running a small business means constantly making decisions — about money, people, operations, growth, and where to focus your limited time and resources. Sometimes the challenge isn’t knowing that something needs to change. It’s figuring out what to do next.
I help business owners step back, look at the whole picture, and turn complicated problems into practical next steps. That might mean understanding your numbers, improving an operation, evaluating a new idea, building a business plan, developing a new revenue stream, or simply having an experienced outside perspective when you’re stuck.
I bring more than 20 years of hands-on business experience, including over 14 years operating a working agritourism farm, along with professional experience in business advising, operations, financial systems, tourism, retail, events, and farm and food business development. My goal is simple: help you make better-informed decisions and build a business that works better for you.
Let’s Build Something That Lasts
I believe strong small businesses are built around more than growth alone. They need to work for the people running them, the customers they serve, and the communities they’re part of. That means making thoughtful decisions about where to invest your time, money, and energy — and building systems that are practical enough to actually use.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in the realities of running a business. We’ll look at what’s working, what isn’t, and what you want the business to become, then build a path forward that makes sense for you.
If you’re ready to move something forward, let’s start with a conversation.
Here’s how we can work together
From a quick conversation to focused project work or longer-term advising. We’ll start with a free 20-minute call to talk through what’s going on, what you need help with, and what kind of support makes the most sense.
