FOUNDER STORY

EVOLVE or DISSOLVE

Back when I started in industry sales, I had $80K in graduate school loan debt and that post MBA degree W-2 corporate “dream job” (slavery) made me quickly realize I was never going to make the big money I dreamed of, let alone get out of debt anytime soon. So I started looking around for a sales opportunity with unlimited income potential.
In 1999, I left that corporate “wage slavery” job and career and started in sales (cold calling and door knocking) out of an old, falling apart, 3000 GT that’s didn’t go in reverse, because I didn’t have enough money to fix the transmission, let alone get a new truck or SUV.

I never pulled into the customer driveway because I was afraid they would see me have to push the car to go backward.
The company I sold for didn’t have folders/literature so I would buy those cheap blue ones at Target and make my own ... they didn’t offer car magnets, or leads, or have much brand identity in the market, and I had only temporary business cards my first 30 days ...

My first ladder was a very complicated fold up of multiple sections that I had a lot of difficulty opening.

So not only did I have to carry a bulky ladder all the way up the long driveway, it also took me several minutes to properly open each section and lock before using it and the same taking it down and carrying it back.
I started selling in 1999 (there was big hail storm on May 15, 1998), but this was a year later when all the “good areas” were sold or saturated.

I am 100% certain now, I looked a damn fool back then selling next to those with real roofing company trucks, much more experienced sales associates whom had better equipment with great uniforms and marketing literature.

But at that time, I was just happy for an Opportunity to get out of debt.  
I was HUNGRY and HUSTLED, sold $3.2M my first 1.5 years making close to $400K in Sales Commissions. Within 6 months, I was in a brand new Jeep Cherokee, by the end of that year I upgraded to the first Cadillac Escalade SUV (with TVs in it!) and by my 2nd year bought my first house in Minnetonka, MN, a lot of nice furniture, and a 2nd rental property.

This all happened in my first 2 years cold calling and selling as a Roofing Sales Associate.
After 2 years, I evolved to become the Owner-Entrepreneur, a licensed contractor, and launched my first office from the basement of my house in Minnetonka, MN ...

We killed it and went on to open offices across 18 states (even a joint venture in Australia briefly!) achieving $173M in revenue over the next 12 years … 

I will never forget those early days of being hungry and hustling door to door on the streets of MN and Chicago selling roofs ... and I am still grateful for the Opportunity this Industry gave me as an early industry sales associate and later as the Owner-Operator to get out of debt, upgrade my life, and make my first Million (EBITDA, not Revenue) in a calendar year. 

But it all started back in that crappy 3000GT that didn’t go in reverse ... broke with $80k of college debt, living in a studio apartment, with NOTHING to my name .... but the gift of gab, an ink pen, selling roofs, and a burning desire to improve my life.

After a departure with my business partner of 12 years, I wanted to do something different, and to give something back to the industry.

In 2014, I knew NOTHING about book publishing, e-commerce, internet marketing, video production, virtual training, event planning & conferences, filming/producing, or reality TV ...
But over last six years, I wrote a book called Win The Game, launched an industry e-commerce/consulting company for Roofing Contractors called Storm Ventures Group (SVG), produced & host an industry conference and tradeshow expo called Win The Storm (WTS), and launched a Reality TV Series called Contractor Rescue.
I have launched new hi-tech products for the industry: SVGU Online Virtual Training and SVG U Virtual Reality (VR) to help train Industry Contractors (and their teams) in the $100B+ Roofing/Storm Restoration Industry.
I AM EXCITED TO HOST the 6th Anniversary of the annual gathering of the industry at the “Win The Storm” Conference and Trade-show Expo on February 20-22, 2020 at the Phoenix Convention Center …

"WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO "WIN THE STORM”? The Perfect Storm doesn't only come from nature ... it also comes from within.

Being an ENTREPRENEUR, Key Manager, or Sales Associate in this industry can be both a lonely and difficult journey ... when you don't have the right network, people, exposure, training, and Tribe ...
For many years that “Tribe” did not exist ... but it does now.
We are going to once again bring an entire industry of Roofing Contractors together, unveil the most revolutionary products and services the roofing industry has ever seen, and make 2020 the year to ... SCALE IT.
