A Foundation of Discipline and Skill

Brad’s journey began in the U.S. Army, where he served as a Water Purification Specialist. His military training taught him the values of discipline, resilience, and exacting standards — qualities that have defined his work ever since. Today, he’s a certified Master Plumber and Wastewater Operator, bringing the highest level of expertise to every project.

Endurance and Grit, Both On and Off the Field

Outside of work, Brad’s passion for endurance sports speaks to his inner drive. Competing in grueling Tough Mudder events and 50-mile ultramarathons, he pushes his limits with the same determination he brings to his business. These events are more than personal challenges; they’re a testament to his “Keep Hammering” philosophy — showing up, working hard, and never giving up.

A Connection to Nature

An avid hunter, Brad cherishes time outdoors. His recent hunting success, capturing a beautiful buck, showcases his patience, skill, and appreciation for nature. Whether in the woods or on the job, Brad respects the process, giving each moment and task his full attention.

Proud Father and Role Model

Above all, Brad is a dedicated father. Pictured here with his two sons, he’s as proud of them as they are of him. His love for family fuels his work and inspires him to build a legacy of service, integrity, and quality craftsmanship.
