Nick had a future in nursing, already working in ICU units, shadowing nurse anesthetists, and on track for a secure, well-paying job. Ty had just come back from his mission, unsure of his next step but hungry to build something of his own.
Then one day, over a hot tub conversation, everything changed.
We talked about the insulation business we both knew well from working at USI. We knew what customers were being charged. We knew we could do it better. That night, we made the decision: let’s bet on ourselves and start our own company.
We pooled everything we had, emptied our savings, bought a beat-up truck (shoutout to Buffalo Bill), paid cash for our first insulation blower, and dove headfirst into business ownership. No investors. No mentors. No safety net. Just two brothers figuring it out along the way.
