From carrying wood on a framing crew at 12 to founding TradesmanAi — the trades saved my life. Now I'm giving everything I never had to the next generation of trade builders.
You're good at the work. Now become the person who builds a business that runs without you — and creates generational wealth.

While your friends drown in $100k+ debt, you'll be building a six-figure business. The Other Road is debt-free, skill-first, and built for the new elite.
I could tell you about the companies, the network, the platform.
But that's all meaningless without the WHY.
I started mowing yards as a kid to help put food on the table. By twelve, I was carrying wood on a framing crew. By my senior year, I had started my first company. The trades found me before I even knew what to call them.
I made every mistake in the book — spent money faster than I made it, lost my customer base when I moved, and nearly lost everything right when my daughter was on the way.
Out of desperation, I found the trades a second time. HVAC. Recession-proof. AI-proof. Year-round. I bought out my mentor's company. My daughter is in college today, fully funded.
"I shouldn't be here today — but the trades saved me. They can build you."
Everything I built — TradesmanAi, the TEN network, The Other Road, Skip The Degree — exists because I want to give you everything I never had. The strategies, the shortcuts, the mindset.
Because on the other side of mastering your trade is a life of unlimited creation that you never have to retire from.

"Rocky gave me the roadmap I never had. I went from a $45k/year tech to running my own HVAC company doing $400k in year two. He doesn't just coach — he transfers belief."
"I was about to take out $80k in student loans when I found The Other Road. Two years later I'm a licensed electrician making more than most of my college friends. No debt. No regrets."
"TradesmanAi is like having Rocky in my pocket on every job. I've used it to train my crew, price jobs better, and identify problems I would have missed. It's a game changer."
"The TEN network connected me with people who actually think at my level. Rocky built a community of builders, not complainers. That alone was worth every penny."
