Glenn Anderson
Founder & Principal AI Consultant
Naples, Florida | Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Graduate | 35 Years Software Engineering
A graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Glenn brings 35 years of hands-on engineering and project leadership to every client engagement. He's built and delivered complex software systems across financial services, insurance, healthcare, and manufacturing. These are high-stakes industries where the same payment, document, and forecasting workflows run every day and a mistake is measured in millions. He now applies that same process to AI automation for homebuilders, from estimating and finance to construction operations and sales.
Glenn's consulting approach hasn't changed in 35 years: sit with the people doing the work, understand what's manual and repetitive, then build software that eliminates it. What's changed is the technology. Today's AI can read documents, pull out the data, answer questions about your operations in plain English, and take over workflows that used to need entire teams. The catch is that the same technology will hand you a confident, wrong answer if you let it. Anyone can make an AI demo look good. The harder job is making it right, and that's the part Glenn has spent his career on.
Glenn's real strength is translating between business needs and technical solutions. After decades working directly with owners and executives, he's learned that the best technology is worthless if it doesn't solve a real problem. Every engagement starts with your actual pain points.
Based in Naples, Glenn founded Short Line Consulting to help homebuilders cut through the AI hype and focus on practical automation that delivers ROI. His approach: learn your operation through a focused 2-week assessment, identify the highest-impact opportunities across your departments, build the solutions, train your team, and make sure everything pays for itself within 12 months.
Anyone can prompt an AI. The hard part is trusting what it says.
A tool that makes things up is worse than no tool at all, because someone acts on the wrong number before anyone catches it. Glenn builds AI where the same question always gets you the same answer, and every figure traces back to your real data. That's the discipline behind a billion dollars a year in payments validated, eleven years running models where a mistake cost real money, and thirty-plus systems pulled into one trustworthy view.
