After 15+ years of using expensive, overcomplicated tools in the field, I decided to build the solutions I wished I had. No corporate bloat. No unnecessary complexity. Just practical tools that actually help you do your job.
I'm a Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional, and Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt that has worked in industrial manufacturing. For over 15 years, I've been in the trenches—crawling under conveyors, standing next to 500°F equipment taking thermal images, analyzing bearing failures at 2 AM, and building maintenance programs from the ground up.
During that time, I've used just about every tool, software, and system the industry has to offer. Some were great. Many were frustrating. Most were way more expensive than they needed to be.
"I got tired of paying thousands for software that did 10% of what I needed, or spending hours fighting with clunky interfaces when I should have been analyzing data. So I started building my own tools."
What started as personal projects to scratch my own itch grew into something more. Colleagues started asking for copies. Other plants wanted access. I realized that if I was frustrated with the available options, thousands of other reliability professionals probably were too.
PowersYourTeam isn't backed by venture capital or built by people who've never set foot in a plant. It's built by someone who uses these tools every day, understands the real problems you face, and believes you shouldn't need a six-figure budget to run a world-class reliability program.
To provide practical, affordable reliability tools built by practitioners, for practitioners. No fluff. No unnecessary features designed to justify high price tags. Just the things you actually need to prevent failures, extend equipment life, and make your maintenance program successful.
I believe every maintenance team—whether you're a one-person shop or a large corporation—deserves access to professional-grade tools without breaking the budget. The goal isn't to build an empire. It's to help fellow reliability professionals do their jobs better while keeping more money in their maintenance budgets where it belongs.
Every feature comes from real field experience, not focus groups. If it's in the tool, it's because I needed it myself.
No enterprise sales calls. No "contact us for pricing" games. Straightforward pricing that respects your budget.
Features that solve real problems. No bloat, no complexity for complexity's sake. Tools that help, not hinder.
Full-featured maintenance management without the enterprise price tag. Work orders, PMs, asset tracking, and reporting that actually makes sense.
Practical vibration analysis capabilities built for reliability engineers who need answers, not just pretty graphs.
Affordable condition monitoring sensors that integrate seamlessly. Monitor your critical assets without the critical price tag.
Calculators, reference tables, and guides for everything from bearing frequencies to torque specs. Free for the community.
Need expert analysis? I provide hands-on vibration analysis services backed by real-world experience diagnosing equipment problems.
From RCM implementation to PM optimization, practical guidance from someone who's actually done it—not just read about it.
Every reliability engineer I help succeed, every maintenance team that prevents a failure using these tools, every plant that improves their uptime—that's the real reward. I've been fortunate to learn from great mentors and work on challenging problems. Sharing what I've learned is how I pay it forward.
The free calculators and reference tools on this site? They're the quick references I wished I had when I was coming up. The paid tools? They're priced to be accessible because I remember what it was like to have a limited budget and big goals.
"I'm not trying to compete with the big players. I'm trying to help the reliability engineers and maintenance teams who the big players have priced out or overlooked."
Whether you're interested in the tools, have questions about reliability, or just want to talk shop—I'd love to hear from you. I'm active on LinkedIn sharing lessons learned, failure photos, and insights from the field.
