My dad was a plumber who did sewer line replacements and drains. I used to visit Boston every summer starting at the age of 14. So, if that counts, about 15 years!

What is one thing you wish more people knew/understood about the PHCP-PVF industry?

That we are all truly talented individuals. Trades people are incredibly smart, hardworking, down-to-earth people. If it wasn’t for the trades, we would be a third world country without running water, heat or hot water. I think we need to put more emphasis and respect to the trades with encouragement to the new generation to pick a trade as a career.

What has been your proudest moment in your career so far?

Many things, as I am super grateful for the trades: it has saved my life! I had a rough upbringing, and the trades always kept me busy working. My proudest 2 moments were when I first got my plumbing license, and the second but scariest was when I first started my own business. Very thankful for the trades and all of the awesome people in the trades.
