I entered the plumbing field in 2002, engaging in residential and commercial new builds, and handling maintenance jobs. I transitioned to full-time service work, and I also dabbled in heating and air conditioning for a time. After experiencing industry layoffs, I chose to launch my own company. I saw a gap in the market for a plumbing company, that emphasized proper workmanship over financial gain.

In total, I have 21 years of experience in plumbing, prior to plumbing, I was involved in construction trades, and before that, I served in the Navy as an aircraft engine mechanic. I founded my company with the goal of delivering high-quality work, taking a hands-on approach, at an affordable price.

Hello, I’m Stephen, a native of Birmingham, AL. My mother had a career in law, and my father worked in lumber. At around six years old, we moved to Shelby County, specifically Helena, AL, before moving back to Birmingham when I was almost twelve, and I went to Homewood High for two years, then we moved to Irondale, and I graduated from Shades Valley in 1991.

Following high school, I served in the Navy as an aircraft engine mechanic, serving with VP-4 at Barbers Point, HI. After my military service, I transitioned to the construction industry, with my uncles in heating and air, and was later given the opportunity to train as a plumber, which I gladly accepted.

During my downtime, I love to read, cycling on trails, going on trips, taking hiking excursions, and spending time at the beach in the summer. I also engage with charities when possible, distributing food boxes to the homeless, and helping those who are struggling. I am passionate about combating animal abuse, and I am equally committed to addressing child abuse.
