1. How long have you been in the industry?
I have been in the industry for 6 years now.
2. What is the most rewarding aspect of your career in PHCP-PVF?
The most rewarding aspect of this career is seeing something I drew up come to life. I love to layout a run of stainless lines and bend them perfectly and it quickly turns into a piece of art. I also love to share what I’ve learned with other people and see a new skill click for them.
3. What do you wish more people understood or knew about the plumbing industry?
I wish more people knew construction isn’t as scary as it may look from the outside. Trying anything new comes with a certain level of anxiety, but if you just change that perspective to excitement, it can be really fun. Your journeyman and foreman are there to help you and teach you, and you will be amazed at what you can really do.
