I’m not an educated man, at least not in the traditional sense- I did finish high school, not quite barely, but certainly not as valedictorian. I wasn’t even on the honor roll. Not because I’m not smart enough, but more because school bored the snot out of me. I could write a book about whyContinue reading “Getting Edumacated”

Toilet Paper Rolls
One of the first questions that I was asked to think about was what is one of the biggest stumbling blocks you are running into in your business. After thinking for a few minutes, I wrote down “Toilet Paper Rolls.”
1st Trimester Is Almost Done… Thoughts on 2019 so far
It’s been a busy year for me. And I mean busy. I’m not usually the one that feels busy- I have time to call people, take time to recreate (a little, anyway) and really be ok with the world. But 2019 has just felt busy, and it’s not a feeling I particularly like. I feelContinue reading “1st Trimester Is Almost Done… Thoughts on 2019 so far”
I was sitting in my office today working when I got a text from one of ladies saying there was a guy that wanted to see me. Turns out he was my very first hire, Caleb. He started with me when it was just me and one van, and was the one to drive myContinue reading
Tip to prospective hires…
Just a quick tip to prospective hires: in an interview when you’re asked what strengths you have or what sets you apart, don’t say you have a strong work ethic. It’s cliche, and it doesn’t make you stand out. I’ve interviewed hundreds of people, all wanting jobs. I’ve never had any of them say theyContinue reading “Tip to prospective hires…”
On Killing and On Combat- Book Reviews
On the advice of a friend, I recently read the books On Killing and On Combat by Lieutenant Colonel David Grossman. He recommended the books to me as we talked about the responsibilities of gun ownership and what self defense means. As we both carry guns on our person on a regular basis, he recommendedContinue reading “On Killing and On Combat- Book Reviews”
Bernie… Really?
It’s been 2 months now since I last listened to a political show- or really seen anything political. But I did see today that Bernie Sanders is running for president. Again. Really? Is that the best the Democrats can come up with? I’ll give him this- at least he’s honest about who he is. He’sContinue reading “Bernie… Really?”
Just a Little Off
My wife and I like to improve things- we are constantly working to change things and make them better. We have become pros at tearing our houses apart, to put them back together in a better, more beautiful (hopefully) and useful way. Our last house was a small 2 bedroom, 1 bath house. We turnedContinue reading “Just a Little Off”
A 30 Year Old Dream Comes True
When I was in fifth grade, I met a boy named Jason. At least, I think that was his name. It’s been 30 years, so I don’t really remember. Anyway, Jason was a little older than I was, was bigger, taller, and better looking. He also had one other thing I admired: hermit crabs. 3Continue reading “A 30 Year Old Dream Comes True”
Don’t Be That Guy
When expressing frustration with a product or service, don’t threaten right off the bat.
