FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to school to become a paramedic, which doesn't really have much to do with plumbing. However, it has come in handy. After being in business for myself for only about 6 months, a plumber from a different company went into cardiac arrest at the local parts supply warehouse. I was able to perform CPR and let the firefighters take over when they arrived. When he left in the ambulance, I called my wife and shared with her the experience and told her I was pretty sure he didn't make it. One of the best days was the following days when the plumber's adult daughter called to thank me for saving his life. I continue to learn about my professional by attending classes each year and attending trade show. I love to read about new products so I can be able to offer then to clients.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was in college working toward becoming a paramedic while volunteering at my local firehouse and working as an EMT. When my wife became pregnant with our first daughter, my perspective changed and I decided I didn't want to have 24 hour shifts away from my family. I decided I needed to do something I could provide for my family and have my wife be able to stay home with the children. That's when I decided to get back into plumbing and start my own company.
