I'm Del. I framed houses, hung trim, ran roofs, set tile, and ran small crews for 25 years before I wrote a line of code.
What pushed me into a keyboard wasn't a calling. It was a frustration. I needed a way to bid jobs without losing money, track my crew's hours without killing my Sunday, and remember what I told the customer six weeks ago. The tools I could find were either a $300/mo SaaS built for a 30-person GC, or a Square invoice and a YouTube spreadsheet. So I built my own. Excel first. Then HTML when I needed something a customer could actually see. Then PHP when Excel ran out of road.
That stack of homemade tools turned into Entrepreneurial Trades Academy — a free school that teaches contractors how to run a real business. And the agency arm that pays for the school is what you're looking at right now: Blue Collar Funded.
When I build your website, I'm not making it for a generic small business. I'm making it for somebody whose phone is on the dash of a truck. I know what your site needs to do. Because mine needed to do the same thing.
