Can a Union Save Your Life? | Carpenters, Mental Health & Helping Homeless Vets

from Vegas Veteran Voices

Wyatt isn't your average carpenter. He's the warranty director at Martin-Harris Construction, a long-time volunteer with Harvison House, and a man who credits his union with saving his life. In this powerful episode of Vegas Veteran Voices, Wyatt gets real about suicide, purpose, faith, and what it means to rebuild from the ground up literally. We dive into: • How union carpenters in Las Vegas are pulling in $72/hour (yes, seriously) • His near-suicide and the moment that changed everything • The wild truth about addiction and mental health in the trades • What it's like to furnish homes for formerly homeless veterans • How veterans can break into the trades with no experience just grit This episode is raw, emotional, and packed with practical advice for anyone feeling stuck or searching for purpose. Whether you're a vet, a carpenter, or just trying to get through your own dark night this one's for you. Want to learn more about Harvison House?
