Description
I met Peter in 2013 playing poker at a mutual friends house in sobriety. It's funny when you meet people at one point in their life and then watch as everything unfold for the better.What started out as a craigslist opportunity in the boating world sparked a greater dream of working and building "quite literally" a massive marine and seaside construction business. Peter, got sober and moved down to south florida to start over. His first job was a bike ride away from his sober living and he began working at a boat yard and observed detailing companies coming in and out making everything look nice. While he was very appreciative of the work opportunity he had always been entrepreneurial and thought, Hey, I can do that and do it better. He began biking up and down the coast passing out fliers and notes for opportunities for several months with only a couple of clients. One afternoon he told his boss that he was going to pursue it full time and had to give it all of his attention if was going to work and took one of the biggest risks. What happened then was nothing short of miraculous and you'll have to tune in to hear how everything played out. The company is called Seaside Marine Construction; At their core, they value God, Family, and Friends, and we bring that commitment to every marine construction project. They work hard to create exceptional waterfront experiences, specializing in seawalls, docks, and boat lifts, with safety, quality, and longevity at heart. If you are in need of their services please reach out through the website https://seasidemarineconstruction.com/Peters life is one that could be a movie. He got sober, found his passion that fuels his dream to build and help others, married an amazing woman, had two beautiful twin baby girls and employs people that are looking for their second chance. I was blessed with the opportunity to sit down and record this story as it's one of my favorites. If you are looking for work, some inspiration or just a nice guy to help maybe point you in the right direction then look no further and we hope you enjoy the show!
