About Us

How It All Started

Lucky Lot Striping started in an unexpected place — behind a desk.

My background is in cybersecurity and technology, working a cushy work-from-home job that, on paper, checked all the boxes.

But outside of that world, I’ve always loved building, fixing, and improving things with my hands. Some of my favorite “vacations” weren’t trips at all — they were weeks spent working nonstop on DIY projects, where you could step back at the end of the day and actually see what you accomplished.

That instant, visual transformation is something I’ve always found incredibly rewarding.

Over time, I started to feel the downside of the tech world — constant change, mental fatigue, and watching talented people around me get laid-off or replaced.

Like a lot of entrepreneurs, I’ve tried many different paths over the years: from e-commerce to real estate to consulting, but nothing really stuck.

Then I discovered line striping — a simple, honest service that makes a real impact. It checked all the boxes: improving local businesses and communities, working with my hands, delivering clear results, and building something of my own.

Lucky Lot Striping was born from that realization — a business focused on doing quality work, being fair and straightforward, and taking pride in every job.

Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about us. If you need striping services, I’d be happy to come out, take a look, and give you a fair, honest quote.

P.S. Oh, and why Lucky? My wife was born on St. Patrick's Day, and it makes for a great logo!
