Unlimited Tradesman:

The 7-Week Blueprint to Accelerate Your Income, Opportunity & Outcomes


STOP GRINDING. START WINNING.

You’re busting your knuckles in the cold, the chaos, the mud—believing it’ll pay off. A company truck. A competitive salary. A seat at the table. A life on your terms.

Wake up.

You know how to build a map—but no one taught you how to read it. Countless tradesmen and contractors are left stuck without a clear path to elevate their position, their company, or their life. Feeling stuck isn’t unique. What you do about it is.

If every weekday feels like a rerun, here’s your wake-up call: You haven’t changed—but you’ve expected everything else to. The ones who win? They adapt. They grow. They lead. The real Decision-Makers don’t just swing harder—they master people, profit, perception, and potential—they accelerate.

This is the essential guide for the blue-collar worker who’s done waiting—and the contractor who’s not done building.

Tradesmen will master the social jungle, build allies, stack high-value connections, speak with purpose, influence outcomes, eliminate costly mistakes, and skyrocket their value.

Contractors will build better assets in the field—and stronger balance sheets in the books. A team with the right mindset and skills reduces turnover, increases accountability, boosts safety, sharpens communication, and drives productivity.

This simple, effective roadmap delivers high-income skills, strategic insights, and weekly jobsite challenges to turn you into a decision-maker—the kind contractors fight to keep, promote, and invest in.

Stop waiting for permission.

Return To Hawaii: A Donovan Cross Novel

 Book Cover Man Pointing a Gun




Donovan Cross is the NIA’s legendary secret agent. He has been sent on dozens of missions in every corner of the globe and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. Originally from Hawaii, Cross has not returned home in nearly 30 years. The unexpected death of his parents altered the course of his life. Instead of attending a prestigious college on a scholarship, he chose a path of spying and espionage. When the Agency ordered him to return to his birthplace, he anticipated confronting painful memories of his parents' passing. Unbeknownst to him, his presence on the island is crucial to addressing a sensitive global crisis: China's imminent invasion of Taiwan. Hawaii is being used, shrouded in secrecy, to facilitate this invasion. The skills Cross has honed over the years and his knowledge of the island's secrets will lead him and his newfound ally, the beautiful Jade Viper, on the thrill ride of a lifetime. _________________________________________________________________________

The Alpha Protocol:

A Sci-Fi LitRPG Adventure

(Symphony Book 1)


Finding himself suddenly teleported to a new dimension, a former English teacher becomes the god of a world of his own making, in this portal fantasy.

Fresh off a break-up and now unemployed, veteran and former high school English teacher Walker Reed is ready to succumb to a grim and hopeless depression. But when an enigmatic stranger stops him in the street, he’s suddenly hurled into another dimension.

There, Walker gets to build his own world from scratch following the Alpha Protocol, which invites special individuals from across the universe to become “Creators”—generating everything from their own land masses and celestial bodies to a comprehensive, recorded religion.

With the help of his robotic assistant, Virgil—who happens to be a four-foot-tall squirrel—Walker sets about building out his geography, evolutionary systems, and creatures. But it’s not like playing in a sandbox, and he quickly realizes his creations can have world-ending consequences. Not to mention the creators are regularly pitted against one another in the Creator Wars . . .

As if all that weren’t bad enough, if Walker can’t complete the Alpha Protocol, he’ll be sent back to his previous reality, which has only gotten darker. As he unlocks new systems and paths, can he balance his desire to be a peaceful, benevolent, and ethical god? Or will everything devolve into chaos?

The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
