Steve Hunsaker is more than a founder — he’s a builder. A builder of systems, of people, and of scalable businesses that thrive in the trenches of the home service world. What started as a scrappy side hustle sparked by a Reddit thread has grown into a multi-brand portfolio serving hundreds of clients and generating millions in revenue.

In just five years, Steve turned a two-week idea into Valley Christmas Lights — now the largest and most trusted seasonal lighting company in Scottsdale, Arizona. With over $800,000 in annual sales condensed into just a two-month window, VCL has become a local holiday staple, known for custom designs, commercial-grade materials, and white-glove service that transforms homes into winter showcases.

But Steve didn’t stop when the lights came down. Recognizing the growing demand for stylish, permanent lighting, he launched Valley Premier Lighting — a year-round solution for homeowners and businesses who want to elevate their curb appeal, boost security, and celebrate every occasion in vibrant color. With sleek, low-profile systems and expert installation, VPL helps properties stand out every night of the year.

His most influential venture, however, is Home Service Accelerator (HSA) — a mentorship platform and operator-built community helping home service entrepreneurs scale beyond the truck and into true business ownership. With over 250 active clients across window cleaning, power washing, plumbing, painting, and more, HSA delivers proven systems for marketing, lead generation, team building, and operational efficiency. It's not theory — it's field-tested, boots-on-the-ground strategy from someone who’s still in the game.

Steve’s “do it with me” model and anti-agency approach resonate with the next generation of blue-collar entrepreneurs who are ready to stop guessing, stop outsourcing, and start building businesses that print cash and run on systems. His students routinely double and triple their revenue, hire their first crews, and reclaim their time — without giving up quality or control.

Named to GCU’s 30 Under 30 and featured on national podcasts and stages, Steve is a sought-after voice in the trades and entrepreneurship space — not because of flashy marketing, but because his methods work.

Whether you’re here to light up your home, grow your service business, or explore what it takes to scale with simplicity, you’re in the right place.
