LH Plumbing Services, Owner, Licensed Master Plumber

How long have you been in the industry?

I have been in the plumbing industry full-time since 2006. I established my company in 2010.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your career in PHCP-PVF?

I receive great satisfaction in knowing that the projects and jobs I complete are integral to the health and safety of my clients. The gratitude displayed by many of them is extremely rewarding. The appreciation of my craftsmanship is also hugely rewarding.

What do you wish more people understood/knew about the plumbing industry?

I always do my best to convey to those outside of our industry how important and relevant plumbing is to our health, standard of living and the quality of life we are able to enjoy as a nation.. Access to clean, running water, sanitation, natural gas and the plumbing systems used to convey it are the very building blocks of the society we are privileged to live in. Without plumbing and other skilled trades, our society and life as we know it stops.
