Trust, he says, is earned the same way it was in uniform: “Say what you’re going to do, then do exactly that. Every time.” For fellow builders and trade partners, Valhalla is the kind of company you can send onto a jobsite knowing they will elevate the entire team. Values That Still Guide Him: Loyalty, Duty, Respect Hendrix carries forward two leadership lessons above all: Lead from the front. Lead by example.
“I will never ask my team to do something I wouldn’t do.”
Before he named the company, he named the values the company would live by. Family, Integrity, Humility, Grit, Respect, and Empathy. These values shape how he hires, how he builds, how he treats clients, and how he builds long-term relationships across the industry. “Trust takes a long time to earn and half a second to lose.” Building a Team You’d Go to Battle With When asked where he sees Valhalla Deck & Patio in five to ten years, Hendrix doesn’t talk revenue. He talks about people. “I’m trying to build a tribe. A group of good people who are proud of where they work.”
