My name is Alec Bond, and I’ve spent my career in the trades — boots on the ground, codebook in mind, grinding my way from apprentice to journeyman in the fire sprinkler industry. I worked hard, earned every inch, and built my life around the kind of work that demands discipline, grit, and skill.

But everything changed the day I was seriously injured on the job.

It was the kind of injury that doesn’t heal enough to return to the field. The kind that takes away not just your identity — but your purpose. I was forced to face the reality that I could no longer physically do the job I had dedicated my life to.

But I wasn’t done contributing to this world.

And I absolutely wasn’t done helping others in it.

During my recovery, I started building digital tools to help myself study the codes I once worked by. I used AI to improve how I learned and retained the dense material in books like NFPA 13, NFPA 25, and beyond. And somewhere in that process, I had a realization:

What I was building for myself… could help every apprentice.

Every instructor. Every journeyman. Every skilled trade.

That’s where TradeTool AI was born.

TradeTool AI isn’t just another app. It’s the first AI-powered platform built inside the trades, by someone who lived it, bled for it, and still believes in it.

It’s built to help the next generation of skilled workers:

-Learn faster

-Retain more

-Stay safer in the field

-And pass the certifications they need to build careers

Because here’s the truth no one likes to say out loud:

-Nearly 50% of trade apprentices drop out before finishing

-Many state pass rates are stuck below 60%

-And we’re training people for jobs where a single mistake can be dangerous or even fatal

TradeTool AI is designed to change that — by giving every apprentice and instructor the smart tools, structure, and support.

This platform includes:

-A trade-specific AI assistant (WIZ) that answers real field questions from actual codebooks and trade situations.

-A Notebook Tool that auto-tags and organizes jobsite notes

-A Learn module with quizzes, flashcards, and retention-focused study guides

-A Material Tracker to manage tools and job supplies

-A TEAM system for print sharing and crew collaboration (future)

And every single one of these tools was built with the trades in mind — not repurposed from tech but crafted by someone who’s worn the boots.

I’m raising $25,000 to:

-Finalize development of TradeTool AI’s MVP (minimum viable product)

-Launch pilot programs

-Cover server hosting, security compliance, and AI training data

-Support onboarding sessions and apprentice testing tools

-Keep this platform sharp and accurate as intended

This isn’t about turning a profit.

This is about building infrastructure for the future of our trades.

By donating to this campaign, you’re helping us carve the first real digital foundation that supports the working class.

You’re giving:

An injured worker a new purpose

An apprentice a better shot at success

A teaching organization a modern edge

And the entire skilled trade community a stronger, irreplaceable future
