Kolton has mastered the action it takes and the follow-up needed to build high-level relationships with those in the industry and today he tells you what it takes.   Kolton’s Bio Born and raised in Arizona. I had a difficult time through school. Not academically. I was just a pissed off kid. I fought almost daily. How I was not kicked out of school is beyond me. My mom dipped out when I was about 7 or 8. My step dad adopted me. I say step dad but he was there since almost day one. I pushed a-lot of friends away with my anger and hate. But I learned from that and overcame all that BS. Graduated high school in 2011. In high school I worked at a car wash. Where shortly after graduating I was promoted to site manager. I quickly became bored with the car wash industry. I quit with no plan or back up job. I was hired on at a local remodeling company. Quickly learned that I didn’t like hanging drywall. So I put feelers out. My Aunts restoration company was seeking a helper. So in June 2012 I was hired. About 6 months into the industry I was thrown into a lead technician roll. Where I quickly had to learn the industry and quickly built my skills of problem solving. I quickly found a passion for the industry. hard working by nature, I rose to the top of my aunts company over the span of 10 years. October of 2021 some massive changes were up and coming that I didn’t want to be apart of. I had an opportunity fall in my lap. And that was to start my own restoration company. That’s where Diamondback Disaster Services was born. My aunt new my plan but her now Ex husband did not so as I planned my departure he found out what I was doing and rightfully let me go on the spot in December. He made it easy on me I wasn’t sure how I would have that conversation. I truly do appreciate everything I learned from him and that he introduced me to this amazing industry. January 2022 Luckily I had a few months of months of planning under my belt I had significantly reduced my personal overhead. Refinanced my house, sold my Rzr, used funds from refinance to pay off truck and other debts and put money in the bank. A great Friend of mine Eric owner of Eco roofing solutions gave me a sales job to help me out and give me something to do while I waited for my non compete to expire. June of 2022 we fully launched June-December we did 650k in revenue! 2023 I plan on hitting 1.5million! When I’m not taking care of clients and ensuring the highest quality possible. I enjoy personal development, out door activities sports with the kids, fishing, Off-roading, Pokémon battling and collecting with the kids, and playing and collecting Magic The Gathering for me.   Kolton’s Links https://instagram.com/thatrestorationguy?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.facebook.com/kolton.myers.7?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.facebook.com/DiamondbackDisasterServices?mibextid=LQQJ4d   #construction #constructionlife #constructionindustry #contech #roofer #builder #contractor #builders #contractors #podcast #constructionpodcast #fyp #constructionleadership #projectmanagement #management #leadership #constructionchampions #ronnussbaum #nuttnest #project10k
