Having started plumbing at age 14, Derek Olin began his career working for a meager $1.50 per hour.
After receiving his Virginia Master Plumber license in 1983 and working in the business for 15 years, Olin decided he wanted to be his own boss. He passed his plumbers contracting test and started Olin Plumbing in Tampa, Fla. What began in May 2009 has now grown to four employees and four trucks covering the Tampa-St. Petersburg area.
