About Me
I’m Justin Thomas, founder of SAE Consulting. My work lives at the intersection of purpose and performance—helping entrepreneurs and organizations turn strong ideas into stronger businesses through clear strategy, durable structure, and disciplined execution.
A 15 year career spanning military service, legal training, and leadership roles in both the public and private sectors has taught me how to navigate complexity, lead with intention, and build systems that support growth and the people behind it. That insight drives everything we do at SAE.
Why I Started SAE Consulting
My deepest commitment is to mission-driven companies that enrich the lives of children and families—from family-entertainment centers and after-school programs to youth-development spaces and creative enrichment hubs. These ventures remind me why I built this firm in the first place: to help good people transform great ideas into sustainable, thriving operations.
How We Help
While family-focused businesses will always be close to my heart, SAE delivers a board-room-ready consulting approach for any organization ready to grow, evolve, or reorganize. Our services include:
Operational streamlining and process design
High-impact workshops and leadership training
Strategic planning and change management
What Sets Us Apart
We balance human-centered consulting with strategic precision. No cookie-cutter templates. No buzzwords for their own sake. My background in operations, legal analysis, compliance, and organizational strategy ensures every recommendation is practical, scalable, and rooted in real-world constraints. From solo founders to multi-layered teams, we listen, adapt, and design around your reality.
Lets Work Together
If you’re building something that matters—be it a family enterprise, a nonprofit initiative, or a corporate program in need of a reset—SAE Consulting will help you organize, optimize, and execute. Because your business shouldn’t merely run; it should work for you.
