Nathan Zirkel: A to Z Man Construction

“I used to be a fireman and I got started, I built my house, or I remodeled our house that we live in currently. And that kind of just started everything and then I was doing it on my days off. And eventually, I got hurt here about three years ago and had to step away from the fire department.

And so, this went into full-time. It was always full-time, but it went into even more full-time.”

 – Nathan Zirkel

Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast! Nathan Zirkel, owner of A to Z-Man Construction LLC, is here today with your host Steve Larosiliere. Nathan was a fireman before starting his own company. Remodeling their very own humble abode during his days off was his first project. When his full-time job as a firefighter hit a rough patch, he eventually became a round-the-clock Woodpreneur.

In this episode, Nathan talks about the challenge of growing his business for those people whose not into the “technical” side of it. How his wife is a significant help to his company (as the saying goes, “behind every great man is a great woman,” and we couldn’t agree more!), and the power of word of mouth, the most effective form of traditional marketing.

Change is the only thing constant in this world, and Nathan’s clients served as living proof, from “we want to remodel our bathroom, show us once done” to being very focused and hands-on “this is what we want and how we want it done.”

Now is the time to listen and hear the whole story!
