Blaise grew up watching his dad build decks. There's a photo of him at age two in a tool belt on one of his dad's job sites. His dad ran Knock on Wood Construction for 35-40 years before burning out on five crews. Blase went to college, played rugby, got put on academic probation, dropped out and came back to decks.

In this conversation, Blase shares how LVMC went from just him and his dad in 2014 to three crews building 150-156 decks a year at around $3 million in revenue. He sells five decks a week by himself. His dad runs production entirely. His brother runs the crew Blase used to run. His cousin recently took over. His sister-in-law handles the office.
