Meet Roger Wakefield

Fixin’ to save the world

How it all began

I’ve always believed that if you worked hard you could live a great life, and I hate that so many people miss out on the opportunity to make a career in the trades. If you’re wiling to #HIFNH, you deserve someone who’ll tell you what you need to know and support you in a decision to suceed without a college degree.

What I Know For Sure

You Can Build Everything You’ve Ever Wanted

Growing up, my family encouraged me to be a hard worker. And that's not all: Close friends were all plumbers in Texas. They took me under their wing, and encouraged me to get all the training I could and always do things the right way. I’ve built a successful business and had opportunities I never could’ve imagined; and I want everyone who’s willing to work hard to know they can too. It bothers me how many people have never learned about the trades (or if they do, they don’t know that training and education could make them more money). Blue collar workers built America. The trades are a pathway to a successful life, and something to be proud of.

For Tradesmen and Business Owners

Screw “what everyone else is doing.” No getting a college degree just to have hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt and no clearer idea what you want to do. No staying a journeyman forever because you weren’t told how to professionalize and make more money. No dancing for views on social media. (That’s right: I built a following 1 million strong with not one dance).

Build you career and your authority the right way: the way that’s right for you, for who you serve, and for the dignity of the work you do.
