ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jack Hauer
Jack Hauer spent more than three decades working in corporate tax and finance, including senior tax leadership roles with an international energy company. Retirement arrived sooner—and more abruptly—than he expected, turning what had always seemed like a future planning exercise into a series of immediate decisions.
Thrift Smarter AI grew from hands-on resale sourcing and field testing: using AI in actual thrift-store aisles, finding where it helped, finding where it failed, and refining the system around practical buying decisions.
