In the trades, every decision leaves a mark. Quick fixes can keep things running, but they often lead to higher costs and bigger footprints later.

Doing the work the right way is what pays off in the long run. Quality work protects both the system and the people behind it.

Rural towns feel the workforce gap most. New, greener tech is rolling out fast, but trained techs are hard to find.

That’s why I believe mentorship networks have to reach beyond company lines and create pathways for young techs no matter where they live.

Took my daughter to her first NFL game to watch the #Seahawks. The noise, the energy, the swag: it was all part of the experience. Memories we’ll carry with us.

Managers: The first 90 days matter.

New techs need structure, support, and someone they can lean on. Give them early wins, check in often, and show them they’re part of something that works.
Retention starts the moment they say yes.
