Collin Gosselin is a business owner.
The 20-year-old announced on his Instagram on Tuesday, March 4, that he has launched a power-washing company months after revealing he had been discharged from the U.S. Marines. Collin shared details about his new endeavor alongside the contact information and the business logo.
“Today we officially filed as an LLC!” he wrote. “Gosselin Pressure Washing LLC is ready to tackle that job you’ve been needing to get done! With the spring season approaching fast, our goal is to make your home shine, with our pressure washing/soft-wash services. We prioritize beautifying your home so that all you have to do is admire the shine after we are done!”
“Let us take the pressure off your shoulders!” he concluded, indicating he is now taking customers.
In November, Collin revealed that he was working on a business venture in an Instagram post featuring the company’s name.
“While attending college, I will be starting a pressure washing business!” he shared with his followers at the time. “My goal is to help you with your pressure washing needs! I will be officially open in the Spring of 2025! Thank you for supporting me and helping me to fulfill a long time dream of mine.”

Before embarking on a career as a business owner, Collin, whose life with his seven siblings was previously documented on Jon and Kate Plus 8, had enlisted in the U.S. Marines. While in training camp, his estranged mom Kate Gosselin had released a statement in response to an interview in which Collin accused her of abusing him as a child.
In her statement, Kate claimed that Collin had been admitted to a mental health facility due to his “multiple psychiatric diagnoses,” including an alleged attack with a “weapon.”
The following month, in August 2023, he was discharged from the Marines, which he later blamed on his mother’s claims.
“It’s very important because due to these allegations that she posted on social media, my dream of becoming a U.S. Marine was crushed and it was taken away from me and now I have to fight and do everything I can to fulfill that dream still,” Collin told The Sun in September 2024. “It’s very important to put these allegations to rest and it’s important to me, for her, to come forward with the truth because I want nothing more than to serve my country.”

The outlet reported that the Marines requested that Collin take a psychiatric evaluation if he wished to re-enlist, and a doctor concluded in October 2023 that he did not meet the criteria for the alleged diagnoses.
When Kate and Collin’s dad Jon Gosselin divorced in 2009, Kate received custody of all eight of their children. Then, in 2016, she sent Collin — who was 12 st the time — to the Fairmount Behavioral Health System institution in Philadelphia. He stayed there until Jon took custody of him and his sister Hannah in 2018.
