Our Story
The Serpico AI Learning Center was built to address the growing gap between AI innovation and real-world adoption.
Origin Story
I've been in tech my whole life. Taught myself to code on a Commodore 64. Lived through the PC revolution, the internet boom, mobile, cloud—every major shift that's reshaped how we work.
I've never seen anything like this.
AI isn't just another tech wave. It moves so fast that even experts, people who do this for a living, have to study it hours a day, seven days a week, just to stay current. If that's what it takes for the experts, no wonder everyone else feels like they're drowning. They're not just failing to get ahead. They can't even catch up.
That's the gap I built Serpico AI Learning Center to close.
I partnered with Center for Entrepreneurial Innovation (CEI), in Phoenix, to create a place where the training moves as fast as the technology. New model drops Tuesday? We're running a lab on it by Thursday. Major update to Claude or Midjourney? Our curriculum reflects it before the week is out.
"Most people don't need to become AI experts. They need someone in their corner who already is, tracking every update so they don't have to. That's what we do."
