Founder
It's me, Dustin. I finally understand why it's called "founding" when you build a company. I mixed my skills together for this.
If you google me, I am an actor, with a few commercials under my belt. And no, I am not the dude from Stranger Things.
If you want to know more about that—I am happy to share. It's a lot of work - more than most people realize.
Until the meantime, just like Jesus had a job—this is mine.
"I don't believe in invasive marketing, or exaggerated claims. I believe in being involved, solving problems, and unlearning broken systems...and calling BS on the system, Pro-Era style"

I could write a bunch of essays explaining how I spent years doing construction accounting, the numbers I managed, and the sh*t I saw. It would be a lot to write about.
It's a bunch of boring stuff honestly.

Dustin was born in Atlanta on July 19, 1995. He swears he could hear the Tomahawk Chant the exact day he was born, and insists his heart still syncs with it. The date makes complete sense: the Braves defeated the Pirates 3-2, and Greg Maddux pitched a complete game.
I went to Campbell High School - ask about all the stupid sh*t me and my friends did - good times. Still Boys with the same crew.
He graduated from UGA with a degree in Real Estate, but doesn't actually hold his license: "I will get it one day—I just am really bad at taking tests."
He's worked in construction accounting, had a brief stint in medical sales (he was admittedly really bad at it), and remarkably, has Bajau blood running through his veins. Because of that, he lives to spearfish and surf. He gets called "Johnny Tsunami" when he snowboards, mostly because he's terrible at it.
Dustin got thrown into this whole blue-collar construction world after his dad passed away, spending an entire year fixing up his mom's house.
"I had to hire contractors to fix up mom's house to cheer her up. Boy, was that a mess. Angi's List sent like 12 contractors randomly. I ended up hiring 2 of them, and now she has the best-looking home in the neighborhood. Then I bought some tools (after telling myself I would never touch a table saw) and now I fix her AC, install new sinks, fix windows, build random things like dog houses, and now... started a company."
Part of it might be a Tiger Woods-style "I miss my dad" mission. "He tried to convince me to be a plumber back when I was a kid—I wish I listened, I'd be retired by now. LOL."
