Tyler McCall started his career in the oilfield because the time off and the money allowed him to do what he really wanted to do, ranch.
Tyler worked his way up from a hand on the rig to a management position just by putting in the effort and keeping his word.
He realized the next promotion would stick him in a full time office position so he decided it was time to go out on his own.
Rafter J Construction was born. Rafter J started as an equipment rental company mainly for oilfield, solar, and wind jobs. They also saw and opportunity to actually do some of the dirt work and construction theirselves so Rafter J now offers that service as well.
Building a company has taken up quite a bit of Tyler’s time but he still ranches. His operation now is primarily based on running sale barn calves on wheat.
Like a lot of us Tyler wants to build his company big enough to sell and be able to buy a big enough ranch for him and his family to make a good living on.

Dean Lopez and Dax Stokes like many of us knew nothing but hustle and hard work to make money.
They still have this mentality but now they’re using that hustle and hard work to build their own company instead of someone else’s.
De-Ax Trailer Sales was founded to solve Dean and Dax’s own problems of the need for new equipment but not being able to afford the prices of the brands that were out there.
Luckily they thought that other people would want to buy these same quality products at a lower price than the name brands.
They were correct.
De-Ax prides theirselves in being heavily connected and involved in the farming, ranching, and rodeo industries so they know the issues that everyone deals with and they can build their products to solve those issues. They’re also very connected to the community so if you need something custom they can build it or if there’s an issue with a product they can solve it for you.
Check out this very relatable journey of two entrepreneurs in the agriculture retail world.

After graduating college and getting “good jobs” just like we’re told we’re supposed to do, Chelsea and Bailey quickly realized they weren’t cut out for that life.
They were both unhappy being apart from each other and while their jobs were in their fields of interest they didn’t fulfill them.
After some brainstorming they decided that real estate was the path they needed to take.
After getting licensed and trained they noticed that the methods for acquiring clients were very old school and transactional, so they decided to implement some of their own strategies as well.
They paired old ways, new ways, and probably most importantly a lot of hard work to become successful real estate agents and eventually brokers.
Wealth is not created by selling real estate, it’s created by buying real estate. They realized this and began investing for the future. They have several cool properties at the moment and are always looking for opportunities.
