Summary

Developed both commercial and residential plumbing skills by first working with the Local 24 team for four years building the new Valley Hospital in Paramus NJ. I then made the move to develop more residential skills by working for both Silva Plumbing in NJ and I'm currently working with All County Mechanical in Middletown, NY.
