Every story has a first chapter.Here’s mine.Before The Lighting Trade School…Before the coaching calls, the mentoring, the podcast…Before the designs that made millionaires stop in their tracks…I was just a broke dad in upstate New York, stringing lights to make sure my kid had Christmas gifts.In this debut episode of Captain’s Quarters First Class, I rewind the clock—back to the clients who handed me hot cocoa, the frozen ladders, and the lessons that forced me to level up from part-time holiday hustle to full-time lighting artist.Inside this episode you’ll hear:Why I couldn’t survive on Christmas lights alone.What it really felt like to dive into landscape lighting with zero roadmap.How crossing paths with Nate Mullen changed my trajectory.The single mindset shift that flipped everything for me.This show isn’t about dabbling—it’s about domination.It’s about building something real, raising the standard, and proving you’re the one who won’t quit when everyone else folds.Press play and step into First Class.If you’re ready to stop playing small and start building a legacy…Welcome aboard Captain’s Quarters First Class.Lights.
