There is a changing of the guard (so to speak) every fall during PHCC’s annual conference and trade show. This month, PHCC — National Association President Hunter Botto, president of Botto Brothers Plumbing & Heating in St. Petersburg, Florida, will hand the title off to Joel Long, owner of Gastonia, North Carolina-based GSM Services. Plumbing & Mechanical Chief Editor Nicole Krawcke had a chance to chat with Long about what he hopes to accomplish during his term and the many opportunities for PHCC members over the next year.
PM: Where’d you get your start in the industry, and did you ever think you would be president of an organization like PHCC?
