Background

Most of my working days has been as a plumber. But... I've always had an itch for entrepreneurialism. Watching my father build engines and plumbing systems from the ground up instilled a certain type of focus and attention to detail in me. Training as a plumber apprentice and eventually running my own service calls as a Technician, taught me how to operate under high stress situations, like repairing water lines on the top floor of a hospital where a small mistake could lead to flooding the whole building from the top down.
During this time I have been very self-motivated, trying out many different side hustles either for additional income or in the hopes of starting a small business out of it. Most of the time I’ve “failed” but I’ve also learned many other skills in the process such as, sales, marketing, communication, leadership and more.
I've always had a project I was working on outside of my job. Including getting my real estate license, building dropshipping sites (wordpress & elementor), running facebook/google ads for those sites as well as for some real estate agent friends. I've ran into "coding" a few times along the way but always thought it was something I might not be capable of doing.

SIDE NOTE: I'm co-founder of FLOSS BOSS RDH a small business i started with my girlfriend that brings profit every month. 🎉

I was supporting my girlfriend and I while she went to school for dental hygeine. Jumping into plumbing directly after high school, I didn't feel like an 'academic education' was for me. However, I was amazed how well she was being compensated for her hard work once she graduated. I thought to myself that I wanted to bring more to the table for us and our future family so I started researching. I ran into Software Development. After some learning online (started with Python) I realizied this career path was a match made in heaven for me. I have many ideas I'd love to build, just not enough time to execute them all! I've been enjoying working with Node.js backend and React frontend.
