The Story
The Unlikely Blueprint of a Tradesman Turned Mentor
Every great transformation starts with a single decision to see things differently.
The Beginning
In the early 2000s, a teenager dropped out of high school in rural Canada. Not because he lacked ambition, but because he saw a different kind of education unfolding—one taught in crawl spaces, boiler rooms, and around kitchen tables.
That teenager was me.
The Growth
What began with a wrench and a work van eventually became Super Plumber—a growing force in Vancouver Island's residential service scene. In 2021, we merged with 360 Comfort Systems, doubling our complexity overnight.
The Realization
"Most trades people build businesses they're not trained to run."
So now, I help them do just that.
- From high school dropout to successful business owner
- Built Super Plumber into a regional force
- Successfully merged with 360 Comfort Systems
- Transitioned from technician to strategic leader
- Now helps other trades entrepreneurs scale

What I Do
Coaching That Starts With the Business—But Changes the Owner
Transforming overwhelmed technicians into confident leaders through proven systems and accountability.
The Problem Most Contractors Don't Realize
When a business owner first sits down with me, we don't talk dreams—we talk data. Two complimentary discovery calls. A review of their financials and CRM. Within 30 minutes, I can see the shape of the business: where the profit leaks are, where the systems don't connect, where sales processes fall apart, and why the owner feels more like an overworked technician than a leader.

To Identify Key Problems
Clarity First
Most contractors' biggest bottleneck isn't time, talent, or team—it's clarity.
Data Driven
We don't talk dreams—we talk data. Financial reviews and CRM analysis in 30 minutes.
Coachability Focus
The question isn't 'Can I help?' It's 'Are they coachable?' That's the hinge.
