I began my plumbing career in 2002, involved in both home and business plumbing projects, and performing service tasks. Eventually, I shifted to service work full-time, and briefly explored heating and air conditioning. Following some layoffs in the industry, I made the decision to go into business for myself. I recognized a demand for a plumbing service, 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 started my business with a vision of providing top-notch service, with a practical, hands-on method, at an affordable price.

Hello, I’m Stephen, a native of Birmingham, AL. My mother was involved in the legal profession, 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, where I spent two years at Homewood High, before relocating to Irondale, graduating from Shades Valley in 1991.

Upon finishing high school, I joined the Navy as an aircraft engine technician, where I was assigned to VP-4 at Barbers Point, HI. Upon leaving the service, I entered the construction trades, collaborating with my uncles in the heating and air sector, and eventually received plumbing training, which I gladly accepted.

During my downtime, I love to read, mountain biking, exploring new places, hiking adventures, and enjoying the beach during summer. I also engage with charities when possible, handing out food packages to the less fortunate, and assisting anyone requiring help. I advocate against animal cruelty, as well as child abuse.
