Dear America,
Dear
There are certain days when we feel our lives change profoundly, days we remember for a lifetime. The day you hold your first-born child in your arms (this month 29 years ago). The day you walk your daughter down the aisle, (only 3 months ago and what a glorious day it was). The day you set foot on American soil for the first time (this month 43 years ago).

The years may have flown by, but my gratitude hasn't. Those profound days happened because you opened your doors to a humble Irish immigrant with a dream, a work visa and $80 in his pocket.
I know you are not perfect; no country is. This year I watched as another well-known local contractor went out of business taking plenty of hard-earned deposits with them. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I decided to do something about it. If anyone googles how many contractors make it to the 10-year mark, they will discover it's only 4%. It pains me to see people getting taken advantage of over and over. I created a FREE website called askGer.com to empower Americans to ask the right questions before any work starts. I know what it’s like to lose a deposit and I want to do everything I can to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Now people have an exact blueprint on how to hire ANYONE for ANYTHING, so folks can get the job they deserve from the 4% of contractors that stick around. BOOM.
July 4th is a profound day. Happy Birthday and thanks again.
