Hi, I’m Dennis the Apprentice!

Together with my business partner, I built a prosperous plumbing and heating company by investing in young people and developing my own apprentice training program to cultivate rock star techs from within. Through my own apprenticeship experience and success in business, I have become a firm believer in the power and promise of the apprenticeship model.

There are plenty of voices encouraging young people to get into the trades, but not much guidance once they are in an apprenticeship. While I love sales and entrepreneurship and am active nationally with PHCC and SkillsUSA in promoting the trades, my true passion lies in helping young people make the most of their apprenticeship years and develop habits that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

Through my podcast, daily tips for apprentices on a social media, and Trade Traction program, I coach apprentices in the soft skills, habits, and mindset they need to thrive in their apprenticeship, trade career, and in life.
