Show notes
Drew Neiertz’s path into the roofing industry didn’t start with money, connections, or a perfect résumé.
Drew grew up in foster care, became a ward of the state, and spent a significant portion of his adult life incarcerated.
When he was released in 2023, he had roughly $200 and Adam Tronnier’s phone number.
That phone call helped open the door to roofing, and Drew took full advantage of the opportunity.
Today, Drew is a Senior Project Manager with ProWest Roofing, has built a large roofing team, and has grown into an approximately $2 million-per-year producer.
In this episode of The Home Service Alliance Podcast, Rio Osorio and Daniel Jiles sit down with Drew to talk about rebuilding your life, developing discipline, leadership, sales, building a team, and what can happen when someone decides their past will not define their future.
