About Us
Why Sonas?
Sonas (pronounced “SUN-us”) is an Irish word. It means happiness, good fortune, and prosperity.
The name isn’t arbitrary. I chose Sonas because it carries the right weight. It’s not just success in the financial sense, but the genuine flourishing of people and the organizations built around them.
My ancestry is largely British and Irish, with deep roots across the British Isles and northern Europe. When I was looking for a name for this business, I wanted something that told the truth about what I’m actually trying to do. Sonas was it. A word from the old country, now planted in Central Texas, pointing toward something worth building.
That’s the spirit behind every engagement: not just fixing a problem, but leaving something more whole than I found it.
What Sonas Is Here to Do
Most small organizations and companies — counseling practices, independent schools, churches, local businesses — are doing work that genuinely matters. The challenge is rarely the mission. It’s everything around it: a website that doesn’t quite communicate what you do, marketing that doesn’t reach the right people, operations that take more energy than they return, a strategy that’s clear in your head but hard to get onto paper.
Sonas exists to close that gap.
Not with generic templates or one-size-fits-all frameworks, but with clear thinking, honest conversation, and the kind of strategic help that larger organizations take for granted. The goal is always the same: help you communicate better, operate more efficiently, and move toward what you’re actually trying to build.
About Me
I’ve spent more than a decade working at the intersection of people, systems, and communication; across education, nonprofit leadership, technology, content, and operations.
I’ve built processes, documentation systems, and managed teams. I’ve run IT infrastructure for a school of 500 students, directed national conferences, managed CRM databases, designed workflow tools, improved processes, consulted on church media and ministry systems, and taught history and literature to high schoolers. I’ve worked inside private schools, a national testing organization, an various churches, and a national academic nonprofit; each with its own culture, its own constraints, and its own way of understanding what “working well” actually means.
What I’ve found across all of it: most organizational problems, whether they look like a marketing problem, a systems problem, or a communication problem, benefit from the same things. Clear framing. Careful attention. Someone willing to ask honest questions and stay in the room for the answers.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Humanities and a graduate degree in Liberal Arts, and it is that formation in the liberal arts that shapes how I approach consulting: with patience for complexity, respect for context, and genuine interest in the people involved. I’m not a vendor. I’m a thinking partner.
I’m based in the Texas Hill Country, and if you know this part of the world, you know it has its own way of being both rooted and open. That feels about right.
