A third generation plumber, Mitch Kenney started out working at his father’s company in Colorado, then branched out and tried a couple different entrepreneurial opportunities. However, he found his way back to plumbing and opened his own business in San Diego.
“My grandfather and my dad were plumbers,” Kenney noted. “I’ve always wanted to have my own business, and didn’t think plumbing was for me. It wasn’t my first choice, but it beat going to college because I really didn’t like school. I tried to take over my dad’s business out there and we were just kind of butting heads. I decided to try to start my first plumbing business back in 2008/2009 and that went under. I filed for bankruptcy just because I didn’t know what I was doing with it. I tried a bunch of other entrepreneurial things along the way, but I kept getting pulled back to plumbing.
