The Daily Measure

About Kevin

HVAC Tradesman, Investor, Writer, and Bruins Fan

Hi, I’m Kevin. I started this blog to bring together the things I know, the things I’m learning, and the things I just can’t stop thinking about.

This site is where HVAC industry tips, investing insights, sports analysis, and honest writing meet. I’ve worked in the trades for years, followed financial markets out of curiosity and necessity, and stayed up too late watching Boston Bruins playoff runs and thinking about how it all connects. If you’re a tradesperson, investor, sports junkie, or just someone trying to figure it out like I am—you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Find on This Blog

  • HVAC & Trades: Practical guides, ductwork tutorials, tool reviews, and shop talk from someone who’s in the field. Whether you’re learning the trade or running jobs, this is your spot.
  • Money & Markets: Real-world investing advice, economic commentary, and breakdowns of market trends—with a blue-collar lens. This isn’t Wall Street. It’s Main Street intelligence.
  • Sports & Culture: Focused on the NHL (especially the Bruins), but dives into baseball, playoff history, and the culture that makes sports matter. Commentary with grit and heart.
  • Mindset & Writing: Through my series “Just Shoot the Puck: Writing Without Perfection”, I explore personal growth, creativity, and the messy process of putting your thoughts out into the world.

Why I Started This Blog

Blogging helps me think clearly, connect dots between the trades and the markets, and show others what I’ve picked up along the way. Whether it’s airflow calculations or asset allocation, I believe working people deserve access to smart, useful content that respects their time.
