Straight Up Plumbing is serving the area of Sparks, NV “For 22 years I was honored to serve in the United States Navy where I cut my teeth in the plumbing field. The most rewarding part of my job was not only all the traveling around the world I did, but also the satisfaction I got from ensuring all my fellow shipmates had good clean running water and bathrooms that worked correctly.
I wouldn’t allow my systems to leak, or become a problem and it made me feel good that when a problem occurred, they could call on me to fix it correctly the first time. I sort of had a reputation on the ship as being “the guy” to call upon when a plumbing problem occurred.
As I grew and achieved higher positions, there came a time where I needed to hang up my tool belt, and start training and managing those after me. I enjoyed teaching younger men the trade and I really enjoyed seeing them succeed and having the same passion I had for so many years.
It was interesting to me how I went from a technician to a manager and leader and yet I still had the ability to make relationships with those who we served, only this time it was about people and not so much the work. One thing I have learned throughout the years is people hire people, period. It is all about the relationships you build and the trust that develops over time that make people happy.
After I retired from the Navy, I realized that I wanted to serve people again. I enjoy meeting new people and get great satisfaction from doing a good job and feeling their happiness after the work is completed and everything is fixed. My greatest desire is to prove to the people that I serve that there is still honesty and integrity in the plumbing industry. Let me prove it to you. “
