THE STORY

I started in kitchens at 14. Dishwasher. Line cook. Chef.

Burnout turned into addiction. Addiction cost me everything. I ended up in prison.

When I got out, I got sober and went back to work. After COVID, I was exhausted and stuck and I knew I needed something real, affordable, and legitimate.

Then one night, after a long shift, I watched a hood cleaning crew come in.

No customers.

No chaos.

No massive overhead.

I thought:

“This is a trade I can actually start.”

A REAL TRADE WITH A LOW BARRIER TO ENTRY

No storefront.

No franchise fees.

No massive debt.

Just:

• A specialized, in-demand trade

• Clear rules and compliance

• Repeatable systems

• Documentation that protects you

That turned into a six-figure business.

I sold it positioned — not burned out.

Now I teach others how to start the right way.
