## Resource

Brad sits down with Trapper Roderick of Roderick Builders to talk about the path that shaped him as a builder, from coming from a multi-generation building family to spending a decade in the custom suit business. Trapper shares how tailoring taught him about confidence, client experience, relationships, and the details people feel, and how those lessons now influence the way he protects design intent in high end custom homes. For builders, architects, and designers, this conversation is about legacy, trust, business discipline, and the many experiences that shape a better builder.
