How long have you been in the industry?

I have been in this industry 46 years.

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

Selling is relationship building. I have met so many quality individuals from peers, contractors, wholesalers , property owners , architects and engineers. We are corroborating on completing beautiful, safe and ecofriendly buildings for the public to enjoy for decades to come.

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

How truly fun this industry can be. So many diverse and interesting opportunities for every temperament and competency out there. The other amazing aspect is the interesting variation you see everyday. No dull, monotonous or boring day here.
