Episode 27 Dave Short

from Glorified Carpenter

Black Boots Builders is a hidden gem in Pittsburgh, PA. I’m grateful I had the chance to spend three days with David—meeting him, his crew, and walking his job sites. He didn’t disappoint. His story, his execution, his team, and even Pittsburgh itself—I loved all of it. Dave has an incredible story, and we dig into how it all started, focusing on the small moments that had the biggest impact on his growth, timelines, and execution. He’s built some amazing projects, but the most impressive thing he’s built is his team—and he’d agree. Black Boots is a near 50/50 mix of management and hands-on carpentry, and it’s the perfect recipe for the highly technical projects they’re bringing to life. This is Dave’s story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 🎥 YouTube Series: #RoadTrip Video from the weekend—walking sites and talking shop—drops for the holidays.
