About Bulletproof Handyman

Who Ray Duke Is

Ray Duke is the founder of Bulletproof Handyman. He is a career handyman who built his own business from scratch — then built this platform to teach other tradesmen to do the same. Based in Three Points, Arizona. His YouTube channel (@BulletproofHandyman) has 660+ videos covering every aspect of running a handyman business: pricing, marketing, licensing, insurance, tools, client communication, and scaling.

Ray teaches from experience. He has documented his entire business process on video, written hundreds of FAQ answers, built free tools, and created a free master class — all available without a paywall.

The Philosophy

Tradesmen are skilled at their craft but rarely taught how to run a business. Bulletproof Handyman exists to close that gap. No paywalls. No subscriptions. No gated content. The entire platform is free because Ray believes access to good business education shouldn't cost money.
