Army veteran. Pastor. Father of 10. Tech entrepreneur. Building AI-powered solutions for local businesses across North Carolina.
Eddie's journey started in the sand and heat of the Persian Gulf. As a soldier in the legendary 1st Infantry Division — "The Big Red One" — during the 1st Gulf War, he learned discipline, leadership, and what it means to show up when it matters. Those values never left him. They shaped every chapter of his life that followed, from the way he leads his family to the way he runs his business. When you've stood on the frontlines, you don't cut corners, and you don't quit when things get hard.
After returning home and going to college, Eddie felt called to serve in a different way. For over 20 years, he pastored churches and poured into his community. During those years he discovered something unexpected — a love for building websites. What started as a hobby, tinkering with code between sermons, quickly became something more. By 1999, he was building websites professionally, and a new career was born. Two decades in the pulpit taught him how to listen, how to connect, and how to truly understand what people need — skills that would prove just as valuable in the tech world.
Over two decades of building websites and digital marketing for local businesses, Eddie kept seeing the same heartbreaking pattern: hardworking business owners — plumbers, HVAC techs, dentists, roofers — who were amazing at their craft but were losing thousands of dollars because they couldn't answer every phone call, didn't have a modern website, and weren't showing up on Google. He watched great businesses struggle and sometimes fail, not because of their work, but because of their digital presence. It was a problem he saw in every town he worked in, across every industry.
That's why Eddie created AIEAAS — AI Employee-as-a-Service. He combined his 27+ years of tech experience with cutting-edge AI to build something that solves the problem at its root. Now, a local plumber can have the same AI-powered phone system, website, and marketing engine that Fortune 500 companies use — for a fraction of the cost. Eddie didn't build AIEAAS to chase a trend. He built it because he's spent decades watching good people lose business they deserve, and he finally had the technology to fix it.
From the military to the ministry to the marketplace — Eddie's career has always been about serving others. That doesn't change just because the uniform did.
20 years in the pulpit taught Eddie that trust is everything. No contracts, no hidden fees, no BS. If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for him.
Married 30 years with 10 kids, Eddie understands what it means to build something that lasts. He treats every client's business like his family depends on it — because he knows theirs does.
Eddie works with local businesses across the entire state of North Carolina — from the mountains to the coast. Whether you're in Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, Asheville, or a small town in between, AIEAAS brings the same dedication and AI-powered solutions to help your business thrive.
That's exactly why Eddie created Adam — the Automated Digital Assistant Manager. Adam isn't just another answering service. He's the perfect employee that Eddie wished he could give to every small business owner he's ever met.
After 27 years in tech and two decades serving local communities, Eddie saw the same story play out again and again: hardworking tradespeople — plumbers, HVAC techs, roofers, electricians — losing customers simply because they were too busy doing the work to answer the phone. They didn't need more marketing. They needed someone to pick up when they couldn't.
So Eddie built Adam to be that someone. An AI receptionist built specifically for the trades — one who doesn't just take messages, but actually gets things done.
