He worked in a restaurant on weekends and did construction during the week. It was a busy season of life that laid the foundation for the career he would grow to love.

Derrick Jones started Grow-4-It Home Solutions by blending two passions: outdoor work and smart home technology. He saw a clear need in the market.

Elizabeth Metcalf began her professional path studying medicine at the University of Washington.

Construction became her outlet, her purpose, and eventually her career.

He knew he needed work that would not only challenge him but also keep his mind focused and productive.

Mike Cannon’s journey didn’t start with a fleet of trucks or a detailed business plan. It started with a lawn mower trailer and his mom’s old Ford Explorer. What began as simple local furniture deliveries quickly turned into something bigger. “People kept asking me to do larger and larger moves,” Mike says. Over time, those requests transformed into a full-scale moving company specializing in high-end, nationwide moves. What started small is now something powerful, and it’s only just beginning.
