In 2012, Greg Pogorzelski was working as a union plumber and pipe-fitter in New Jersey. When work was plentiful, he had no problem supporting his wife and two young children. But frequent union layoffs meant periods without income, and the reality of living paycheck to paycheck weighed heavy on Greg’s mind. Then came Kynect. After getting his wife Terry’s buy in, they and their kids, Natalie and Nate, dove in head first.

The Pogos, as they’re affectionately known, work this business together and have a great time doing it. Greg says there’s nothing like having a Plan B that keeps the family going, even during slower union work months. As for what’s next, he and Terry have their sights set on getting a trust fund up and running for the kids and becoming a Top 25 Income Earner.
