South Bay, Los Angeles

Builder.
Operator.
Owner.

I build and run real things — youth sports programs, real estate, and digital systems — with lean teams and modern tools.

Tommy Ostendorf
About

Operations is
my craft.

I build and run organizations that exist in the real world — businesses where things actually happen: kids show up every week, events fill a venue, tenants have a place to be. The complexity is physical. The tools are digital.

Based in El Segundo, I own and operate businesses across youth sports, real estate, and venue management in the South Bay. I build custom digital infrastructure, manage multi-layered operations, and stay closely plugged into where AI is taking things next.

My edge is running complex operations on lean budgets — without losing quality at the surface level.

Digital Systems

Community
Board of Directors — South Bay Boardriders Club (501c3)

I serve on the board of the South Bay Boardriders Club, a nonprofit dedicated to surf culture and community in the area I grew up in. Beyond governance, I rebuilt their digital systems, redesigned the web presence, and helped architect the organization for sustainable membership growth — the same operational lens I apply to everything else.

Consulting

Open to the
right work.

I'm not locked into what I've already built. I'm actively interested in opportunities — with founders, operators, and organizations who want someone who can think strategically and execute practically.

My sharpest edge right now is AI implementation. I use AI tools daily to build systems, run research, and accelerate decisions — and I can help teams do the same without the overhead of a consultancy. I understand what these tools can actually do, not just what the pitch decks say.

Beyond AI: if you need someone who understands operations, real estate, or how to build consumer-facing programs from the ground up — I'm comfortable in that territory too.
