I was raised by strong men who worked in the plumbing field. As a third generation plumbing technician, I truly feel like it was something that was ingrained in me from the start. Now, with two growing boys of my own, I'm trying to instill in them - the hard-working generational values that I was taught. No matter if they decide to go into the plumbing field or not, I hope I can teach them my ethics of positivity and teamwork that I have discovered are engrained here at Nest DC. In my previous experience in the plumbing field, tension is usually high and there wasn’t much teamwork. Since I joined the Nest family in 2018, it always feels like my coworkers are either smiling or laughing. And they are always working together on problems. I feel like I'm more than just an employee or a number; I feel valuable. When I'm not working hard out in the field, you'll find me spending time with my sons, fishing and enjoying nature.
