Why Service Crucible?
Most business coaching programs teach theory—but theory doesn’t pay the bills.
At Service Crucible, we take a different approach. We don’t just teach concepts; we show you exactly how to run and scale a home service business like the top 1% do.
Our founder isn’t just a Wharton Certified Private Equity professional—he’s spent 20+ years in the trades, working his way up from maintenance technician to general manager to senior executive roles at PE-backed firms. He’s lived every role, fought through every challenge, and scaled businesses from the ground up.
That’s why Service Crucible isn’t built on theory. It’s built on experience, execution, and two core values that define everything we do:
🔥 Meraki – The relentless pursuit of excellence in everything you do.
Great businesses aren’t built halfway. Meraki is about pouring your heart, soul, and craftsmanship into your work—not just for profit, but for pride. It’s the difference between an average business and one that dominates its market.
⚡ Philotimo – The honor in leadership, accountability, and service.
Philotimo is the unshakable sense of duty to your team, your customers, and your business. It’s about stepping up, owning the outcome, and leading with integrity—even when no one is watching.
Built by Operators, for Operators
Service Crucible was created because most owners were never trained to operate at an elite level. You mastered your trade, but no one taught you how to:
✔ Price services for real profit.
✔ Turn techs into high-performance revenue drivers.
✔ Lead managers who make decisions with confidence.
✔ Break down financials, KPIs, and COGS like a PE-backed CEO.
That’s where Service Crucible changes the game.

Meraki
Philotimo
Philotimo is a profound Greek term that is difficult to translate directly. It represents a sense of honor, duty, and pride in doing what is right, often driven by love and respect for others. Philotimo encompasses virtues like generosity, humility, and a commitment to ethical values, often tied to a deep sense of community and selflessness. It’s about acting with integrity and being motivated by a higher sense of purpose.
Relentless Reality

Building businesses that last generations requires more than strategy – it demands consistent, purposeful execution. We focus on creating sustainable success through systematic excellence, proven processes, and measurable outcomes. Every action we take is designed to strengthen your foundation for long-term growth.
Collective Wisdom

Every success story strengthens the knowledge we share, empowering the next generation of industry leaders.
Meet Our Founder

I Didn’t Set Out to Build Another Consulting Company.
After 20 years in the industry—as a third-generation tradesman—what kept me up at night wasn’t falling KPIs or shrinking margins.
It was watching good people suffer needlessly.
Owners working themselves to exhaustion.
Teams pulling in different directions despite their best efforts.
Communities losing faith in an industry that should represent the best of American craftsmanship and service.
The truth? Most companies already have the right pieces.
What’s missing isn’t another system, tool, or quick fix—it’s the understanding of how those pieces fit together.
✔ How roles intersect.
✔ How teams collaborate and create lasting success.
✔ How knowledge passes from one generation to the next—building not just profitable businesses, but legacies.
