A new country, a new language
I came to Canada from Colombia at 22, barely speaking any English. English classes first, then school, then the winters. I never stood still.
Painter first, builder second.
I'm Davis. I painted houses in Calgary for years, then ran the crews, the calls and the sales myself. Every tool we sell, I built for my own business first.

I came to Canada from Colombia at 22, barely speaking any English. English classes first, then school, then the winters. I never stood still.
Helper first, then painter, then running a crew for someone else. At the same time I studied power engineering, and kept climbing.
Stand-inSubcontracting with my own people: work orders coming in, a crew I paid every Friday. That's where I learned what a business really runs on.
Stand-inThe company I worked for changed course overnight. So I started my own: my own website, my own calls, my own jobs. That's when I wrote my first code.
A year of steady SEO put us on Google's first page for most of the searches we wanted, city plus trade. HomeStars' top award, every year. Being busy is good. Being busy doing it all by hand is not.
I built what the business needed, even my own CRM, and got so into it that I sold the company to build full time. And that was the end of Canadian winters.
Websites that bring you the work, a CRM that keeps it moving and an AI that answers when you can't. Everything I wish I'd had when I was the one up the ladder.
