Why I built ProfPrep's exam prep state-by-state instead of selling one generic national question bank — and what most prep platforms get wrong about how licensing exams are scored.

Most exam prep is built to look comprehensive, not to fix the reasons people actually fail. Here's the product principle I built ProfPrep around.

Segmentation, immutable backups, real assessments — small businesses are told these are "enterprise" concerns. They're not. Here's why the enterprise playbook scales down cleanly, and why it usually isn't applied.

"Veteran-owned" is on a lot of marketing. Here's what it actually means operationally — the habits from military service that show up in how I run every company, beyond the badge.
