The plumbing industry is full of rock star individuals. People that go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure their peers and the people coming in behind them have a better industry than what it was before. InSinkErator’s Rebecca Falish is the epitome of an industry rock star. In fact, to hear retired InSinkErator Vice President Joe Maiale say it, Falish “is a rock star turned superstar,” in the industry.
Falish grew up immersed in the plumbing industry. Her grandfather was a plumber in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Falish recalls running around his shop like it was a playground. As she turned 18, instead of heading off to college right away, Falish had her eyes set on getting a job, earning her own money and buying a car. After months of working with Kelly Job Services to find a job, she heard of an opportunity that “no one wanted.”
