Built two connected ecosystems
Defined JL Influence as a human-performance ecosystem and JL Network as a media, operations, discovery, viewing, and community ecosystem—each based on distinct real-world needs.

TURNING REAL NEEDS INTO WORKING SYSTEMS
I translate real sports, media, customer, community, and organizational needs into product direction, workflows, system architecture, and usable experiences.
WHY THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY WORK
Product Thinking Grounded in Real Work.
I do not begin with a feature list. I begin with the person, the decision they need to make, the information currently in their way, and the systems that must cooperate. Nearly three decades in coaching, more than 20 years in enterprise technology, and founder-led business experience allow me to see a problem from the user, operational, technical, and commercial perspectives at the same time. JL Influence and JL Network show how I turn those perspectives into connected products, clear workflows, and working demonstrations.
SELECTED EVIDENCE
Turned coaching practice into products
Translated assessment, biomechanics, speed development, athlete feedback, readiness, and long-term development into JL Vision, JL Speed, JL Pulse, and MovementOS.
Designed a media operations stack
Shaped Networkarr-N+, Dispatcharr, JL Smart Guide, and the JL Network viewing experience around media management, channel operations, enrichment, discovery, and delivery.
Connected users to system decisions
Used enterprise support experience to identify the business interruption, gather requirements, coordinate technical teams, and keep implementation grounded in how people actually work.
Moved from concept to working proof
Created product narratives, user journeys, information relationships, interface direction, prototypes, and deployed experiences that make the larger system understandable.
Built for adoption
Applied documentation, training, customer support, and solution storytelling so products are not only technically possible, but clear enough for people to trust and use.
