Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Absolutely, there are so many people and influences that have played a big role in my journey. First and foremost, I’d shout out my family—especially my grandfather, whose hard work and determination have always been a powerful example for me. He taught me the value of resilience and perseverance, especially in a competitive industry like construction. Listening to his story of he and my grandmother built a life and raised a family from humble beginnings gave me the inspiration and drive to build something myself.

I’d also give credit to the mentors and experienced builders who took me under their wing when I was first starting out. They didn’t just teach me the technical skills, but the practical insights of solving on-site issues, managing crews, and working with various trades. These early lessons were invaluable in helping me avoid costly mistakes and develop a deeper understanding of the trade.

Finally, I want to recognize some of the authors and thinkers whose books and ideas helped me grow as an entrepreneur. Books on critical thinking—such as Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene—have had a huge impact on my approach to building and running a business. These resources taught me not just to focus on profits, but to value adaptability, continuous learning, and building a solid foundation for sustainable growth.

To everyone who has supported, guided, and inspired me along the way, I’m incredibly grateful.
