THE TRADESFINALLY HAVEA VOICE.

Fifth-generation contractor. Born with sawdust in his veins and a hammer in his hand.

John created the American Contractor Show to put the trades on center stage and drag the industry into a new era of innovation and professionalism.

He's also spent time on the other side of the table, building go-to-market for a venture-backed AI construction technology company. That means he's been the contractor getting sold to, and the executive doing the selling. He knows which claims survive contact with a jobsite and which ones were written in a pitch deck.

That's why he's building DIALED Tech Summit, an annual gathering in Dallas where contractors sort the tech that actually pays off from the tech that doesn't. No booths. No sponsored stages. Nobody buys their way onto the agenda.

Two decades on jobsites. One mission: elevate the trades.
