Your Instructor
I grew up questioning my worth in a system that measured value by letter grades and degrees. But thanks to parents and grandparents who believed in me without conditions, I learned that determination and creativity mattered more than credentials. I’ve always been a dreamer—someone who couldn’t help but look at a job and think, “There’s a better way to do this.” That mindset pushed me to take risks: launching an SEO company, co-founding lacrosse programs, developing niche skills in the fitness industry, and eventually finding purpose in the energy sector.
Not every chapter was a success—some came with tough lessons—but I’ve always believed that if it’s not rooted in honesty and integrity, it’s not worth doing. Founding Solar Certified Pro became more than just business; it became a mission to bring transparency and service to an industry that desperately needs both.
At the end of the day, my greatest accomplishment will never be a company or title—it will be the relationships I’ve built, especially with my wife, my kids, and the people who’ve walked beside me through every step of this journey.
