From Master Plumber
to Master Builder
Leveraging 20+ years of precision craftsmanship and systems mastery—from building 400-unit apartment complexes to building cutting-edge apps and websites—all powered by AI
The Builder Mentality
I am a builder. I have mastered building underground systems, rough and final plumbing, having completed 400-unit apartment complexes as the Plumbing Superintendent in charge of layout, material, labor, pieceworkers, inspections, installations, and more.
I see building apps, websites, and AI integrations as a different level or system but with the same rules that can be mastered and conquered. Whether it's:
- Building 400-unit apartment plumbing systems
- Building tankless water heater systems
- Building complex plumbing remodels
- Or now building processes, apps, websites, AI programs
The principles are the same. Systems thinking. Pattern recognition. Understanding requirements. Precise execution. Quality that lasts. All with the help of AI processes that bridge my vision to reality.
The AI Transformation
AI has opened doors I once thought were permanently closed. What began as curiosity evolved into a profound realization: with the right tools and determination, the systems I dreamed of building were within reach. Today, I continue serving Colorado residents with the same dedication to plumbing excellence that built my reputation—but a fire for learning has been ignited. Through AI, I'm mastering domains and building solutions that most spend years in formal education to achieve. This isn't about replacing one craft with another; it's about expanding what's possible when deep expertise meets cutting-edge technology.
Why I Learn and Do This
Because I Can
I do this because I have the willingness to learn. Since AI emerged, a fire has been lit within me. The ability to learn and master these systems that were previously out of reach—it's not just possible now, it's exhilarating.
AI as My Bridge
I learn these systems because AI has given me a bridge to utilize my creativity and ideas in ways that were not possible before. It's not about replacing skill—it's about unlocking potential that always existed but needed the right tools to manifest.
For My Family
But most importantly, it's for my wife and 2 kids. I want to show them that anything is still possible in this world. That learning is succeeding. That we can adapt, grow, and master new domains regardless of our starting point. And to leave a good life for them when I am gone.
