In the river of business, the most dangerous obstacles are the ones you don't see coming. With over 12 years of hands-on experience—from knocking doors to exiting a seven-figure home services company—I know what it’s like to navigate the "rapids" of scaling a team and the "fallen trees" of operational bottlenecks.
After advising over 100 companies across North America, I founded Headwater Advising to get back to the "source"—working directly with owners to build custom roadmaps.
I don’t just hand you a manual; I walk the river with you, developing your leaders and refining your systems until your growth vision becomes a reality.

"Brayden brings a level of value that only a true business owner can understand. He helped me zoom out from the daily grind to implement high-impact pricing strategies that greatly improved our profitability. He doesn’t just give you a template; he thinks like an owner and walks the river with you through the execution."
Levi Hoyt
Founder - Hoyt Exteriors
“Brayden has been my coach for 3+ years, and his fingerprints are all over my business. He helped me navigate the transition from being a high-level 'doer' to a true leader by implementing systems like 'Commander’s Intent.' This gave my team the authority to make critical decisions without me, freeing me up to focus on the big picture.”
Will Brown
Owner, Brown Boys Roofing
“Under Brayden’s guidance, we scaled from $6M to $18M with over 20% net profit. He masterfully combines insightful coaching with the accountability needed to ensure tasks get completed and objectives are met. If you want tangible results, I wholeheartedly recommend him.”
Matt P.
Founder, ContractorHUB
“Brayden has a genuine way of connecting with people while staying objective and pragmatic when solving business challenges. He was my coach for two years and together we solved a lot of challenges! He leverages real-world success to help you grow. He will not disappoint.”
