A Note from the Founder
"I’ve walked in those work boots. I started out as a concrete finisher and Mason, long days, sore backs, and no shortage of grit. Later, I became a construction teacher and coach, pouring into the next generation the same way I used to pour concrete.I created Beyond the Tool Belt because I saw too many hard-working people giving everything to their jobs and still feeling stuck, worn down with nothing left in the tank. I’ve been there. I know the pressure to provide, the stress that creeps in when the bills stack up and the hope that maybe there’s a better way. This platform is here to help working families take back control of their time, their health, and their finances so they can build a life that actually works for them, not just because of them".
