About Eric

I went to college, but it never felt right. I learned more managing restaurants to pay my way through school than I ever did in the classroom. The truth is—entrepreneurship, especially in the trades, isn’t something you can learn from a textbook. You learn it in the field, by doing it, and by making mistakes. And I’ve made them all—hiring wrong, incorporating wrong, messing up the books, you name it.

There’s no real education out there for young people who want to build something of their own. That’s why I created Bluecollar Foundry—a mentorship program for teenagers and adults who want to start their own service-based business but don’t know where to begin.

I’ve built a multi-million dollar business in the trades from the ground up, and now I’m offering real-world mentorship through weekly virtual sessions and optional ride-alongs. No lectures—just straight talk, step-by-step guidance, and hands-on learning.

Here’s what we cover over 6 weeks:

  1. Laying the Foundation
    Build your mindset, identify your strengths, and surround yourself with the right people.

  2. Grit, Leadership & Problem Solving
    Learn how to lead yourself, stay focused, and solve problems when the answer isn’t obvious.

  3. Sales & Marketing That Actually Works
    Learn how to find customers, earn their trust, and close the deal.

  4. Making Money & Handling Taxes
    Understand how to price your work, manage cash flow, and stay legal as a self-employed owner.

  5. Licensing, Legal & Business Setup
    Step-by-step guidance on how to register your business, get insured, and protect yourself.

  6. Your 6-Month Plan & Launch Strategy
    Map out exactly how to get your first customers, stay consistent, and build real momentum.

This isn’t school. This is how you take ownership—and build something real.
