Additional Information
Date of Birth:
April 3, 1965
Age:
43
Location:
Boston, Massachusetts
Experience:
I have been a licensed plumber for 26 years. I served a four year apprenticeship in Boston, MA.

I have 8 years commercial experience (was a foreman for 7 years)..this includes hotels, hospitals, revitilization projects, and large codominium complexes.

I have another 8 years of residential plumbing and heating and jobbing/remodeling/new work experience...all kinds of fun experiences here!!

After that I started my own plumbing and heating company...now 6 years old. I have 1 plumber and 1 licensed apprentice that work for me. We are primarily involved in remodeling projects...we also do all phases of remodeling of bathrooms and sometimes kitchens...all phases except the plastering (I have a great guy that goes back 30 years with my family) and painting.

In my spare time...nights...I also managed to pick up a bachelor of arts degree in biology. I love to learn..and love to teach...why I like it here (just means I can spell well, and I can type pretty good ;) ).

Anyway, that's it for now. Great bunch here at AMHD!!!
