As the lead drain technician and founder of Captain Rooter, LLC, I believe a good business operates on these three basic principles: communication, a strong work ethic, and customer service. I’m a certified drain technician through the International Institute of Sewer & Pipe Cleaning, a state-licensed Water Heater Installer, and hold a DEQ septic installer and maintenance provider certification. My passion for the construction industry comes from an obsession of understanding how things work. I started as a plumbing apprentice in 2004, and in 2006, I opened Pacific Solar and Rain. I have been self-employed ever since. My acute understanding of the construction process and how different building assemblies interact led me to start Oregon Home Inspections in 2012. In 2015, I started offering sewer camera inspections with my home inspections. After nine years of inspecting and acquiring an in-depth understanding of sewer systems, I started Captain Rooter, LLC, combining over 20 years of hands-on construction experience and knowledge.
While most of my friends and family would tell you I’m always working, which is not too far from the truth, I would tell you I work to live; I don’t live to work. You could say I have that work hard, play hard mentality. I love listening to music and spend as much time as possible practicing the air guitar, which is about the extent of my musical talent. LOL. But what really makes me tick is my love for fishing, especially when I’m 60 miles offshore in my boat tuna fishing. Life, to me, is not about the destination but rather the journey and the people I meet along the way. To wrap it up, the three things I’m the most proud of besides my family are being self-employed for over 20 years, building two of my own houses from the ground up, and obtaining the Coast Guard-approved OUPV captain license. So, to sum it up, that’s why I named my business Captain Rooter, as it combines my passion for life with the love of my job.
