I used to do various forms of construction. I did roofing, plumbing, flooring, framing, carpentry, countertops; I’ve flipped homes, did maintenance on big apartment complexes, and more. Through it all, I learned valuable skills—but I also had come up against a problem. Getting the word out. Sometimes it was great, but other times, I came in second and didn’t get the job. When the recession hit¸ it was a hard time for a lot of people, my family included. I took jobs where I could find them.
It came to a head when I was 1500 miles away from home. I was doing specialty work on domes and had a heart attack. I collapsed and lay there for about an hour before someone found me. It was time for a career change. I loved doing construction, was good at it (I was the guy who was called to fix other guy’s crappy work who didn’t care), but I couldn’t anymore. There was a big problem for guys in my field getting the table scraps—and I wanted to help them. So I found the people who were the best in the world at SEO, apprenticed under them, started ranking websites and making money from it, and then, branched out on my own and created Contractor SEO Spartan.
