HAVE QUESTIONS?

Starting a lighting company? That’s the easy part.

The real storm hits when the calls start rolling in...
And you’re the one answering them.
Quoting. Estimating. Closing. Hiring. Firing. Chasing parts. Managing crews.
Putting out fires in the field... while still in the trench, installing jobs yourself.

All of it... while trying to figure out if you’ll make enough this month just to cover payroll.

And that right there  is why most lighting companies die in the first three years.
Not because they weren’t talented.
​But because nobody ever showed them how to build the business that can hold the dream.

THIS IS YOUR CALL. WILL YOU ANSWER IT?

What would your business look like with the right guide in your corner?

Fill In Your Information to Be Taken to The Application:

It’s time to take ACTION - or admit you’re not serious.

I’m looking for a handful of lighting pros, or soon-to-be pros, who are ready to stop playing small.

This isn’t some templated group course.
It’s mentorship.
Which means I’m in your corner, but I’ll also call you on your shit when you start slipping.

You’ve got to bring time. Energy. Money.
You’ve got to show up, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially then.

I’ll give you everything I’ve got:
Design help. Strategy. Sales. Real answers.
But you better be ready to execute.

No more “thinking about it.”
No more waiting for permission.

You want it? Prove it.

Here’s What You Get When You Join Captains Crew:

  • 2 Mandatory Calls These aren’t feel-good check-ins. These are real reviews, breaking down what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change to hit your numbers.
  • Daily numbers tracking support. We’ll set up, review, and course-correct based on data — not hope.
  • ​ Lighting design help. Send me photos, plans, and walk-throughs. I’ll help you craft designs that sell. (Must use Lifetime Lighting Systems for primary fixtures unless it's a specialty or repair.)
  • Full access to my training videos. The stuff I use to train my own crew and partners. Real-world, not theory.
  • A badass proposal template. Custom-built for your company not some generic Word doc.
  • Proposal and pitch review. Send it before the meeting, we’ll fine-tune it to win together.
  • Custom pricing structure. Built around your margins, your process, and your goals.
  • Marketing + ad support. Bring your ideas, questions, or stuck points. I’ll be your sounding board and help you stop wasting money on shit that doesn’t work.
  • Client experience brainstorming. Want raving fans instead of just happy customers? We’ll design moments that make you unforgettable.
  • And more… Because once you’re in, you’re not doing this alone anymore.
