As a third-generation, I grew up in a construction family performing drywall and was telling my pops, "I want to be a builder when I grow up."
After spending a couple years rolling with the entrepreneurial punches and sleeping on friends' couches, I grew one of the largest construction followings on social media. Mostly because I wanted to highlight the industry and help change the perception of construction.
This led me to start the podcast because I found myself eager to share real & raw stories to help folks grow their businesses and move the industry forward.
I believe trade secrets don't accelerate our industry...
It's the people who have courage to share their wins & losses that will help us build a better future for construction.
Honestly, I'm just a guy without an Ivy League education, a couple of chips on the shoulder, and who stumbled into tech because I got fed up with fax machines and endless paper processes in the family business.
Now I’m on a mission to build things I’m proud of for an industry that raised me.

As a second-generation, our family contracting business operates in the residential, commercial, and public works sector and has now scaled to over $20 Million in revenue.
My journey has been far from perfect. Years ago, I hit rock bottom, battled addiction, and lost millions of dollars. It took nearly a decade of blood, sweat, and tears to rebuild myself and drive our business forward.
As I've gained experiences and calluses over the years, it's been become a driving force for sharing my learnings and coaching contractors who are eager to grow and want to develop themselves into better people and better leaders.
Through these experiences, I’ve gained invaluable insights and calluses that have fueled my passion for sharing what I’ve learned with contractors who are eager to grow and want to develop into better people and better leaders.
Co-hosting the Bred To Build Podcast is my way of giving back to the industry and continue to learn from others.
I believe that by sharing real stories & insights, we can help industry leaders grow both personally and professionally, which can only accelerate a better future for construction.
After all, I’m a firm believer that "a rising tide lifts all ships."
