If I’m fortunate enough to receive the grant, I’ll be investing it into Skilled Trades Genius (STG)—a platform built to change how the skilled trades connect, network, and get hired.
Imagine social media combined with Indeed and ZipRecruiter, designed exclusively for the skilled trades. Instead of relying only on a résumé, workers can showcase their skills through videos, photos, certifications, and completed projects, while contractors and business owners can discover talent, connect directly, and hire with confidence.
The funding would help accelerate development, expand our reach, enhance AI-powered tools, and build a stronger community for more than 80 skilled trades.
My mission is simple: create one place where skilled workers can build their reputation, grow their careers, and where businesses can find the right talent faster than ever before.
Wishing everyone the best of luck—we’re all working hard to make a difference in our industries! 💪🔨🚀

This is a great vision. I love seeing entrepreneurs create solutions to real problems, especially in industries that don’t always get the recognition they deserve. The skilled trades are the backbone of our communities, and creating a platform that helps workers showcase their abilities while helping businesses find reliable talent could make a huge impact. I think giving skilled professionals a place to build their reputation beyond just a résumé is a powerful idea. Wishing you the best with Skilled Trades Genius. It’s exciting to see people building tools that can create more opportunities for others and strengthen the trades community.
