About
I build the systems I wish I had earlier.
I started automating my own business because I had to. Running a services business meant constant manual work: session prep, client tracking, follow-ups, reporting. I was doing everything twice. Once in the work, once in the admin.
I started building AI systems to fix that. Then I realized everyone around me had the same problem.
That became Colossal an AI and automation company I founded in 2007. We build practical systems for business owners. The kind that actually reduce friction and move revenue.
Along the way I became a Development Coach at the AAA Accelerator, a community of 3,800+ AI agency builders. I coach members one-on-one through starting and growing their own AI automation businesses. 500+ coached. I've seen what gets people stuck and what gets them moving.
Most of the people I work with have spent years, often decades, building their expertise. They're not looking to pivot. They want AI to amplify what they have already built. To handle the machine so they can be more human with their clients.
That insight led to Pathfinder OS, the personalized AI operating system for Gen X business owners. Built inside my own business, refined by what actually worked, and now available for any business owner to run.

How I work
Eat your own cooking
Every system I sell, I run myself first. Pathfinder OS powers my own business. The AIOS running Colossal is the same one I build for clients.
Practical over theoretical
AI tools are only useful when they move revenue or reduce friction. I build for outcomes, not for demos.
Borrow before you build
Most of what you need already exists. I help people find it, use it, and only build what is genuinely new.
Currently building
- Pathfinder OS, the personalized AI operating system for Gen X business owners
- Coaching AAA Accelerator members across a community of 3,800+ to launch AI businesses
- Sharing what works on LinkedIn and YouTube
Work
What I am building

What People Say
500+ coached. Here are a few.
“The man, the myth, the legend that Gareth is. Every call we have booked with him has been beyond helpful. Helps us not only solve the problem, but learn why it happened, and ways to troubleshoot in the future. He is our go to development coach.”
“Without fail, every time we get on a coaching call with Gareth, he picks up on what we need, straight away, with complete, actionable, non-developer answers. Thanks Gareth, we really appreciate your wise advice.”
“Gareth is an exceptional coach. I've found his style to be efficient (we're all busy), focused, and results-driven. We are developing a SaaS product and need very clear input, which is exactly what he delivers. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.”
“After my second consultation with Gareth, he helped me simplify my approach.
I initially designed a much bigger roadmap, but Gareth advised me to focus on the most important first step instead of over-engineering the solution.
The biggest takeaway from Gareth's coaching is learning to focus on the highest leverage step first before thinking about automation.
That clarity has helped me approach real business problems with much more confidence.”
“Working with Gareth as a software development coach has been incredibly valuable.
He brings clarity to complex technical decisions and helps break big product ideas into structured, buildable components.
Instead of feeling overwhelmed by architecture, workflows, or implementation choices, I leave our sessions with clear direction and next steps.
If you're building serious software and want strategic technical guidance without the ego, Gareth is someone you want guiding your development journey.”
“Working with Gareth has been awesome. Anytime I have any development-related problems or issues or things that come up, Gareth is one of the main guys that I go to. He's very easy to talk to, very thoughtful, and he takes time to listen and understand. I remember there was an automation I was creating for a client and had I not had his coaching session with Gareth, I would have made the whole thing so much more complex than it should have been. He saved me so much time by giving me the framework from the beginning on how to approach that specific automation.”
