Work with Ethan
About
I’m a student at BYU studying Information Systems, a TA for Leland’s AI Builder Program, and the person my family and friends call when they want to figure out AI. I love taking something that feels intimidating and making it simple. Working with me is relaxed and hands-on. We start with what you actually care about, skip the jargon, and build something real together, so you leave each session with progress you can see, not just notes.

Why do I coach?
I started out not knowing anything about AI, and I remember how overwhelming it felt. What changed everything was building small things that made my own life better. Once I saw what was possible, I started helping my wife, my dad, my brothers, and my friends do the same, and watching them go from “I could never do that” to proudly showing off something they built is my favorite part. AI is going to shape how all of us live and work, and I don’t want anyone to feel left behind just because no one showed them where to start. Coaching lets me do that for more people.
