Friends, I could use your help.
Historically I'm not great at asking for help but as I'm always working on self improvement, here we go.
Last night someone stole thousands of dollars worth of Josh and my tools from a job site in Austin. While the monetary loss is detrimental, the fact that they stole my main, daily use, tools is the real tragedy for me. Anybody who is familiar with my relationship to my tools knows it is NOT healthy , but they also know how meticulously curated and organized they are. You see these are the tools that I use every single day to build my small business, serve my clients, and put food on the table. Due to the nature of Josh and my business (RINGER, Low Voltage Integration) we can't afford to slowly replace them over time so I have already started purchasing new tools today and that's where my friends come in and where crowd funding really makes sense.
The thieves got away with somewhere in the ballpark of $10,000 worth of equipment and while I don't expect to get anywhere near that much help, I figured if a bunch of people kicked in a little bit it could really soften the blow of this un-bugeted expense. 
So there you go... If you can send a few bucks my way, DOPE! If you can’t, no worries at all, I still love you and I have credit. These cards are going to get a work out. 

Oops... how did these super cute pictures of my baby boy pretending to work get in here? Shameless ploy?! That’s up to you to decide.
ps Don’t make me add puppy pictures to this campaign...
desperate times call for desperate measures!
