I started plumbing in 1995 at the age of 18 with a local plumbing contractor. I worked my way through all the positions starting with sewer and water installs. I was on that truck for 2 years learning the ropes of hard work. Then , I was on put on the roughin truck learned how to run waste pipe and water pipe learning the codes. Once I became proficient at that they put me on the trim truck. I  learned how to set fixtures and service work. I worked at various other plumbing company's. I took a break from Plumbing and Joined the Army right before 9/11 happened and did 2 tours in Iraqi during the war and completed 6 years of service. Then 2006 I came back to the plumbing trade and worked in the industrial field of plumbing learning steam pipe applications. I completed my 4 years of plumbing school at Richmond Technical center. In 2019 I opened up J&R Plumbing with my son, and it has been a pleasure to serve the people of my community.​
