Hey everyone, I’m Hal Fischer, a veteran, entrepreneur, and now founder of Home Service Squad, a veteran-owned home maintenance concierge based just outside of Houston, TX. I grew up in the roofing business in Philadelphia, PA, working alongside my family before and after my military service. Ultimately, I left the business to pursue my own startup ventures which led to starting over a dozen different businesses and exiting 5 of them (including my family roofing business a few years ago). Most recently, I’ve been running a sales and marketing consulting firm, but I’m a builder at heart and I know I’ve got one more good run left in me, so I'm going back to my roots in the home service industry. Home Service Squad is a white-glove, done-for-you solution that helps busy homeowners handle repairs and maintenance without stress. We find, vet, and schedule top local pros (many of them veteran-owned), delivering the same peace of mind renters get from property management -- just for homeowners. I joined this group to connect with other owners and operators to share ideas and learn from folks who are in the trenches. I’m always happy to lend insight from my experience around marketing, sales, operations, or buying/selling a business. Also, I wanted to add a big thanks to @Austin Gray for putting this group together. I wish something like this existed back when we were growing the family roofing business -- we probably would’ve scaled faster and sold for a whole lot more! Looking forward to meeting everyone and contributing however I can.
