No Posters. No HR Videos. Just Straight Talk.
Construction builds America — but it’s breaking the people doing the work.
This page exists because the industry is losing good people long before retirement, and long before anyone sees the warning signs.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Someone Dies by Suicide every 40 seconds
Suicide Rate in Construction is 4–5× the National Average
It’s the #2 leading cause of death in the industry, more than falls
83% of workers report having thought about it
Each loss costs companies $1–3 million in overall impact
Construction has the highest suicide rate of any profession
The Reality of Safety
We celebrate zero accidents.
But that’s only half the battle.
Zero suicides is the other half.
Safety isn’t real if it ends at the gate.
It has to follow us home and back - into the quiet moments no one sees.
If we can mandate PPE, fall protection, and lockout/tagout,
we should make tough conversations part of safety too like Invisible PPE™.
It’s time to add Suicide Awareness and Mental Health to the Stand‑Down list.
Slip‑trip‑falls, hydration, cab entry/exit, hand safety — all important.
But we’re long overdue to address the #1 crisis killing our people everyday.
Because facts don’t save lives. Real conversations do.
✅Peer to Peer Safety Works
I’ve spent over 8.5 years selling concrete, block, and building materials to the trades across Central Florida.
I know the job sites, the crews, and the culture — because I live it.
I survived the darkness that nearly killed me. And I see that same darkness in construction today.
Most guys won’t go to a therapist.
Most won’t call a hotline.
But they will talk on a tailgate, jobsite or in a trailer at 6am —
if one of their own starts the conversation.
The answer isn’t another corporate training video or a clinical expert who has never been there and doesn’t understand the trades.
If that worked, we wouldn’t be here.
This has to come from a peer — someone who has walked the walk, lived the life, and survived the fall.
I walk the same sites you and your teams do.
I am one of their own.
Saving Lives is Contagious™
👉 When one worker speaks up, others follow.
👉 When one company commits, an industry changes.
👉 When one life is saved, a legacy is built.
Choose tomorrow.
Choose life.

Making Suicide Prevention Personal™
My focus is simple: helping crews and leaders have honest, human conversations that make people feel seen, supported, and connected — on and off the job. Invisible PPE™
I share lived‑experience stories and practical tools that fit the realities of construction work. No programs. No pressure. Just real talk that opens doors.
If these conversations matter to you or your team, I’m always open to connecting.
