Accomplishments
I've been a plumber in Colorado since January of 1996, started building tract homes with m&r plumbing for Richard Kansteiner, numerous custom homes with Moore plumbing and Fraser Valley plumbing and heating. I started doing commercial work in 2003 for Rk Mechanical where I built hotels, a soccer stadium in Commerce City, Hospitals and pretty much the entire Denver Skyline for Pete Balderson. I was Superintendent at Colorado civil infrastructure for my best friend Ramon Diaz on the c70 project while still running my own business Paul Hargrave Plumbing and Heating. I ran seven crews on that highway and did wet utilities and concrete under Kewit. Most recently, I just got back from the Venice, Florida where I was General Foreman for the Sprouts grocery store that just opened up. Top to bottom, I installed almost every pipe in the place,
