Three industry veterans. One shared mission. To help contractors build profitable, self-managed businesses without sacrificing their faith, family, or freedom.
ELITE Mastermind was founded by Peter Jeppson, Burt Lockard, and John Zentmeyer, three industry veterans united by one conviction: that business owners who work hard deserve a clear path to profitable, sustainable growth without sacrificing the things that matter most.
What began as a shared vision on a coaching call became a calling. To serve business owners who want more than revenue. They want impact. They want freedom. They want a business that works for them instead of one they are buried under.
Today, ELITE Mastermind serves contractors, remodelers, and home service businesses across all 50 states with done-for-you systems, coaching, and tools that produce real, measurable results.
Three leaders. Three distinct backgrounds. One shared mission to help contractors build thriving, self-managed companies.

Every service we offer is grounded in these four areas. When all four are strong, your business scales with clarity and without chaos.
Your business can only grow to the level of your leadership. Shift from operator to owner.
Profit is a responsibility. Master your numbers, price for profit, and recover tax dollars.
Your business grows as fast as your team does. Build a culture of ownership at every level.
Growth without systems creates chaos. Build the infrastructure that makes scaling predictable.
Everything we build is grounded in these four commitments.
Rooted in biblical principles of stewardship, integrity, and service to others.
Business growth should support family life, not compete with it.
Structure creates freedom. Systems let you lead, not just work.
We measure success by the impact our clients create for their families and communities.
