Andersen & Modern Craftsman

Building community

We're proud to support the Modern Craftsman in their effort to build a better industry. The Modern Craftsman represents more than a podcast; it embodies a vibrant community—a hub where industry professionals champion excellence, education, knowledge, and respect. Within its virtual walls, Nick Schiffer of NS Builders and Tyler Grace of TRG Home Concepts, candidly discuss both their triumphs and missteps, delving into topics spanning construction, life, leadership, mental health, and more. Moreover, the Modern Craftsman collaborates with vendors, brands, and like-minded individuals, all united by a shared purpose: to elevate people, enhance the industry, and advocate for a better life within the trades.
