Description

Every legacy has a beginning.

This is mine.


Long before The Lighting Trade School.

Before the podcast.

Before the coaching.

Before the mentoring.

Before the installs that made millionaires and billionaires say “damn.”

There was a broke dad in upstate New York hanging lights to buy his kid Christmas presents.


In this premiere episode of Captain’s Quarters First Class, I take you back - back to the hot cocoa clients, the winter hustle, and the hard lessons that forced me to evolve from seasonal side-hustler to full-time lighting artist.


You’ll hear:

The real reason I had to go beyond Christmas lights.

What it really felt like jumping into landscape lighting blind.


How a stranger named Nate Mullen changed the trajectory of my career.


And the mindset shift that changed my business, and life forever.


This podcast is the continuation of something bigger…

A mission to raise the standard in business and life. To train the next generation. 


Hit play and step into first class.

This isn’t just a podcast.


This is a call to build something real…

To be the name people remember because you chose to master your craft when others played it safe.


If you're ready to stop dabbling and start dominating...

Welcome to Captain’s Quarters First Class.
