The Blue Collar Boyfriend

At The Blue Collar Boyfriend, we’re all about equipping tradesmen and women with the best gear to get the job done right—because quality tools aren’t a luxury, they’re a necessity.

Let us introduce ourselves. We’re Jerry and Louise, a husband-and-wife team married for over 30 years. In that time, we’ve seen the blue-collar world evolve in big ways. Jerry is a Master Electrician with experience in residential, commercial, and industrial work. He’s also served as a Plant Operations Director in both healthcare and senior living communities.

Louise has been along for the ride—always looking for ways to support her hardworking man. From searching for the best work gear and tools to making sure he had what he needed to stay safe and comfortable on the job, she knows the struggle of finding quality products that truly deliver.

Over the years, we’ve come to realize we have more to offer than just our own experience. We’ve found companies and products we trust, and we have friends in the trades with a wealth of knowledge to share. We created The Blue Collar Boyfriend to build a community—one that provides encouragement, insight, and real recommendations for the hardworking men and women who keep our communities running.

Here on our page, you’ll find tips, advice, solutions, product recommendations, humor, and relatable content. Follow along and join the conversation!
