Pest-Control Engineer Falls for OpenClaw, Buys Mac Studio Mid-Road-Trip
heyneighbor · x · 2026-10-17
A grassroots AI adoption story: Ark Stabler, a Lockheed Martin-trained engineer now running a family pest-control company in Ocala, Florida, got hooked on OpenClaw in early 2026 when his brother PJ discovered it late one night. PJ set it up on a Mac mini, couldn't stop thinking about it on a family road trip, and ordered a Mac Studio for in-store pickup at an Apple Store in San Antonio. The payoff: even Donna — apparently the least technical person in the company — now uses OpenClaw better than most, and they've turned it into a real consulting business (AIssisted Consulting).
