Summary

A journeyman plumber with six years of residential plumbing experience and a strong foundation of discipline and reliability gained through my service in the United States Coast Guard, I bring a combination of technical skill, professionalism, and leadership that aligns well with the demands of service plumbing.

Throughout my career, I have developed proficiency in water heater replacement and repair, drain clearing, leak detection, tub and shower replacements, drain repair, and fixture installation, interior and exterior waterline repipes. I take pride in delivering high‑quality work, diagnosing issues accurately, and providing solutions that are both effective and efficient. Whether responding to routine service calls or urgent situations, I maintain a calm, focused approach that ensures the job is completed safely and correctly.

My Coast Guard background taught me the importance of accountability, teamwork, and adaptability. I know when to lead and when to follow, and I understand how to support a team while keeping customer satisfaction at the forefront. I communicate clearly, stay organized, and consistently uphold the standards expected of a licensed professional in the field.

I am eager to bring my experience, work ethic, and commitment to excellence to a company that values skilled tradespeople and strong customer service. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your team and continue growing within an organization that supports both its employees and its community.
