Welcome
This is where I write about how to build and run a business. Hiring, pricing, operations, systems, sales process, and leverage. The things that actually move a business forward when they’re done right.
I co-founded Window Tint LA in 2014, grew to $3M a year, and was acquired by American Window Film in 2018.
From there, I co-founded Tint Wiz, a CRM for window tint and PPF businesses, built from the internal system we used to run Window Tint LA. We launched in 2020, became the industry leader, and was acquired by Fullsteam in 2025.
Everything I write comes from experience building and operating real businesses, along with helping other business owners improve their systems, sales process, and day-to-day operations. What worked, what didn’t, and how to think through the next move when you’re in it.
If you’re trying to grow a service business, improve your sales process, fix your operations, or make better decisions as an owner, this is for you.
I also work directly with business owners who want clear thinking on growth, operations, and execution.
Tint Wiz Was Acquired. Here’s the Full Story.
Watch the conversation below about how Tint Wiz started, why this partner made sense, and what’s next.
How to Hire Someone You Don’t Fully Know (Without Ruining the Relationship)
Here’s how I structured a three-year commitment to remove pressure, protect the relationship, and give both sides room to actually perform.
Why Owners Get Stuck Doing the Work Instead of Building the Business
Owners often stay busy doing the work because stepping back feels risky. This post breaks down why that pattern stalls growth and what it really takes to build a business that can run without you at the center of everything.
Why Two Service Businesses Can Make the Same Money and One Owner Burns Out
Two service businesses can generate the same revenue, yet feel completely different to run. This post breaks down why owner role, leverage, and team structure matter more than top-line numbers, and how growth without change leads to burnout instead of freedom.
Why Service Businesses Stall Even While They’re Growing
Many service businesses keep growing on paper, but still feel stuck.
This post looks at why growth can stall even when revenue is up, how business identity quietly shifts over time, and why progress requires intentional changes instead of repeating what used to work.
Cutting Isn’t the Risk. Not Reinvesting the Time Is.
Many service business owners know they should cut low-margin work, but they don’t feel like they can afford to. This post looks at why cutting isn’t the real risk, and how failing to reinvest the freed-up time is what actually keeps businesses stuck.
Having More Options Is the Problem (Not the Advantage)
Many service business owners aren’t stuck because they lack options. They’re stuck because too many options compete for attention, slow decisions, and quietly add complexity.
Working More Isn’t a Strategy for Service Business Owners
Many service business owners are working longer hours with the hope that it will pay off someday. This post looks at why that math often doesn’t work, and why cutting can be more powerful than adding.
