The 9-to-5 Builder · Detroit

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO QUIT TO
BUILD.

I've shipped 25+ apps around a full-time job.

Get The Weekend-Ship Playbook — the exact process I use to take an idea to a live app between Friday night and Sunday. Then I'll send you my build log: what I ship, what breaks, what it teaches me. No fluff.

No spam. Just the playbook + the build log. Unsubscribe anytime.
You're in.

Check your inbox — the Weekend-Ship Playbook is on the way. If it's not there in a minute, peek in spam and drag it to your primary. Now go make the embarrassing version. 🛠️

What you get

MORE THAN A FREEBIE

IT'S HOW I ACTUALLY BUILD
01 — THE PLAYBOOK

The Weekend-Ship System

The 7-step process, plus a one-page checklist. The same one I used to ship a casino, a radio station, a trading bot, and 20+ more — all after work.

02 — THE BUILD LOG

What I'm Shipping

A short, honest email when I build something. The wins, the bugs that ate my weekend, the real numbers. No 5,000-word "value bombs."

03 — THE TOOLS

Stuff You Can Use

Now and then I make something you'll actually want — an app, a template, a tool. You'll hear about it here first, before anywhere else.

Who this is for

You've got a real job and a notes app full of ideas you keep not starting. You don't need to quit, become a genius, or wait for the perfect moment. You need a Saturday and a system. That's the whole thing.
