One thing I never get tired of is making memories with my kids.
Marshall absolutely smoked this golf shot today. ⛳️👏 I may or may not have watched the replay a few times. 😄
These are the moments that matter. A little friendly competition, a lot of laughs, and time together that I'll remember far longer than the score.
Proud of you, buddy. Keep swinging.

A great reminder to start the week.
In a world that tells us to hurry, God's timing reminds us to trust, prepare, and stay faithful.
I hope this message encourages you as much as it encouraged me.
If it resonates with you, share it with someone who could use this reminder today.
Have a blessed Monday! 🙏

Happy Monday!
A new week brings new opportunities to become a better leader.
Real progress doesn't happen by staying where it's comfortable. It happens when you choose the hard conversation, make the difficult decision, learn a new skill, or take the next step you've been putting off.
As leaders, our teams rarely outgrow us. When we improve, they create opportunities to improve too.
Don't let comfort keep you from becoming the leader your team needs this week.
If this message encouraged you, share it with a leader who needs the reminder that growth begins where comfort ends.
Most pay disputes don't start because someone was dishonest.
They start because the compensation plan wasn't clearly explained.
If your technicians can't explain how they get paid in about 30 seconds, it's probably too complicated.
Clear expectations create trust. Trust creates accountability. Accountability builds great teams.
Know someone leading a service business? Share this with them. It could save them a lot of confusion on payday.

Happy Friday!
Wrapping up an incredible three days in Louisiana with the team at Pipes & Plugs.
Over the past few days, we focused on leadership development, business coaching, and practical strategies to help strengthen the business from the inside out. The best results come when leaders are willing to learn, ask hard questions, and invest in their people, and this team showed exactly that.
Thank you to everyone at Pipes & Plugs for your hospitality, engagement, and commitment throughout the training. It was an honor to spend these three days with you, and I'm excited to watch the progress that comes from the work you've put in.
Have a great weekend!
