Hi everyone! Thrilled to be here—I just discovered AI Surfer this week and I’m hooked! I’ve dabbled in AI for years, but now I’m determined to level up and even drag my Boomer husband along for the ride 😂. My background is a mix of HR, real estate, government contracting, patient advocacy, and entrepreneurship (with some “lessons learned” business attempts in the mix). Now I’m all about creating an AI Agency and bringing more Gen X’ers and Boomers into this wild AI adventure. Excited to collaborate, laugh, and learn with you all—checking in from Gilbert, AZ! 🌵

Thanks for the welcome, Matt. I’m Sgt. Andrew Poulson, U.S. Army Veteran (PSYOP) and Founder of SGT Poulson AI Inc., a startup based in downtown Mesa. We’re a military-grade AI automation and arbitrage consultancy, right now in the early build phase, scaling systems that generate recurring revenue for businesses and nonprofits. I joined the Syndicate because I want to sharpen the blade. The AI space moves fast, and being plugged into a group like this, especially with the Learning Center right there in Old Town Scottsdale, is the kind of environment where we can all accelerate. Looking forward to learning, collaborating, and contributing as we grow. SGT POULSON AI Andrew Poulson Mesa, AZ 85201 www.sgtpoulson.org

Excited to be here and learn alongside all of you. I’ve been diving deep into AI building apps, experimenting with AR/AI ideas, and exploring where this tech is heading. My goal is to stay on the edge of AI while sharing what I learn and picking up as much as I can from this community. Looking forward to connecting, learning, and building with you all!

I’m Nicole Mashingaidze 👋Real Estate Investor/Developer • Realtor • Business Strategist | Tavapo I'm so excited to have access to this local group. I have quickly become an AI nerd and would like to be amongst others who are finding themselves in the same predicament. Lol I'm Mesa-based, but can do work all over Maricopa County. I’m a newbie developer with a big heart for creating beautiful, affordable places for my people—whether it’s stick-built, manufactured, prefab, or tiny homes. What I bring to this community: - Big energy and practical wins we can use today - A candid lens on ethics & compliance—keeping humans first in real estate - A real willingness to help.(if you want to collaborate) I’m using AI to make homeownership more accessible: land-first scouting, financing matches, community intel, and client copilots that actually move deals forward. I’m so glad there’s an AI community right in my backyard. Let’s share playbooks, build pilots, and push good work into the world—together... Recap: Mesa-based investor/developer + Realtor using AI to unlock affordable homes (stick-built, manufactured, prefab, tiny). I bring excitement, ethics, and help. Let’s collaborate.

Hey everyone, I’m Rudy, co-owner of a boutique accounting and tax firm in Chandler, but I live in Queen Creek. My firm specializes in helping construction contractors integrate their CRM with QuickBooks Online to create a unified financial platform empowering better operational decisions and unlocking strategic tax savings. Earlier this summer, I made a decision to go all-in on AI. When I came to the realization (IMO) that AI will probably be the best way to handle the amount of work that is coming in accounting and tax considering the AICPA states that over the next 5-15 years that 75% of CPAs will be retiring (or fill in the blank) leaving a huge vacuum to fill in our industry. Along with universities steadily seeing a drop in accounting majors. The IRS has already pivoted heavily in the direction of AI and is set to deploy more online tools for taxpayers, tax pros, chatbots, voicebots, and of course using for audit selection. So yeah the prospects of AI and the overall impact are exciting. Either I adapt and learn or fall behind every day. Plus, I'm kind of wanna be tech nerd just wanting to build some cool automations in the process. At any rate, I'm excited to connect with other AI forward-thinkers in the Valley. Lets go!!!! 🚀🚀
