I started plumbing in 1980 at the age of 17 and have been in the plumbing trade until now (34 years). I have done all phases of plumbing, from the underground rough in, to the final installation of the plumbing fixtures for both residential and commercial work. I served as a plumber, plumbing foreman, plumbing estimator, and service manager for a local plumbing company in Gainesville for 13 years. In 2008 I passed the State of Florida Plumbing Contractors exam.
