Biography
I started my career in the Plumbing program at Somerset County Vocational Technical High School in Bridgewater, NJ. I was enrolled in that course for 4 years. The summer before my senior year I got my first full-time job in the plumbing field and have been in the industry ever since.
I have worked in all facets of the plumbing trade including residential and commercial, new construction, and service work. As a prior business owner, I am aware of the challenges and skills needed to progress from the apprenticeship position to the company owner. I have taught several previous apprentices who have progressed to become licensed business owners. I am passionate about the industry and excited to be able to get the next generation of professionals started in this field.
