Meet the Team
The team in your corner against Goliath. We've faced the storm, sat inside the machine, and chose to fight for the independent.
The People Behind the Mission
We work for one person: the independent owner-operator. Not private equity, not the roll-ups. From the boardroom to the jobsite, our team has walked your path, paid the dumb tax, and come back to hand you the stones to beat the giant. This is for independents only. If your name is on the truck, you're our kind of people.
Leadership Team
Jonathon Broce
Co-Founder & CEO
Jon is a fourth-generation roofer who scaled MHI Roofing from about $3M to $17M, sold it to a private-equity-backed platform, and sat 15 months inside the machine as a regional COO. He saw the roll-up's playbook up close, learned that the giant only needs you to stay average, and walked away to fight for the independent. As he says: 'I already got my exit. This is about helping you keep yours.'
