About Us

Under The Oak Consulting began as MMJ Consulting, LLC. In 2003, Michele Jordan started a remote consulting business that would allow her to both supplement the household income and remain a stay-at-home parent. The business began with a single customer contracting for firewall and network administration services remotely and grew through word of mouth, allowing the services on offer to expand as well. Our goal is to serve our customers in a professional and competent manner while providing a flexible contract work environment for Michele and others in the same position.  If you do not need a full-time, on-site consultant, we hope that you will consider us.


Under The Oak Consulting, LLC is a home-based business. Because we don't have the overhead of an office or sales staff, we can offer a lower and more flexible rate structure than most organizations providing the types of services we offer.  We may occasionally provide further rate discounts to organizations that are non-profit, or for services that "stretch" the current knowledge base. We strive to retain clients and advance the careers of Michele and others, and our rates reflect this effort.


Hiring Under The Oak Consulting to perform services for your organization is a little unorthodox.  There is no sales staff.  You'll speak and work directly with Michele.  We limit our service offering to services that can be performed remotely, unless you are located nearby.  We offer quality services at a very competitive rate, creating a win-win situation for both contractor and customer.

Frequently Asked

Why the name change?

Nearly a decade after MMJ Consulting was originally founded, widespread legalization of medical marijuana led providers to take up the phrase "MMJ Consulting" as a service to consult for setting up new dispensaries. The name was changed in 2013 to avoid confusion regarding our services. We are now named for the decades-old oak trees that surround Michele's home.
