    Owner, Sonfu Digital Solutions LLC

    With over 20 years of experience in technology and marketing, Sonnie brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and business growth strategy to every engagement. He holds an MS in Computer Science and a BS in Computer Information Systems, giving him the analytical foundation to design systems that actually deliver results.

    His expertise spans AI-powered automation, predictive analytics, CRM integration, lead re-engagement, AI customer support, and workflow optimization. But what makes Sonnie different is his philosophy: AI isn't about replacing jobs — it's about eliminating repetitive tasks so teams can focus on strategy, relationships, and growth.

    Based in Colonial Heights, Virginia, Sonnie actively mentors young entrepreneurs, invests in tech startups, and shares insights on AI and automation through LinkedIn, webinars, and industry events.

    Areas of Expertise

    AI-Powered Automation

    Designing and deploying intelligent systems that handle lead capture, follow-up, and booking without human intervention.

    Predictive Analytics

    Using data to forecast trends, identify high-value leads, and optimize marketing performance.

    CRM Integration

    Connecting tools, platforms, and workflows so everything syncs and nothing falls through the cracks.

    Lead Re-Engagement

    Reactivating dormant leads and past customers to generate revenue from assets you already have.

    AI Customer Support

    Conversational AI that answers questions, qualifies leads, and books appointments 24/7.

    Workflow Optimization

    Streamlining operations to reduce costs, save time, and free your team from admin work.

    The Sonfu Philosophy

    "AI is not about replacing people. It's about freeing your best people to do their best work. When you automate the repetitive — the follow-ups, the data entry, the scheduling — your team can focus on what actually grows the business: strategy, relationships, and delivering exceptional service."
