Meet Pipe Daddy
A Master Plumber who came up the hard way, and built a small team that brings that same work ethic to every job.
How It Started
I started my plumbing career as a humble drain cleaner, often on call 24/7, walking into basements full of waste and sewage from mainline backups. My boss would take a whiff and say, "Smells like bread and butter!" He also told me I'd never be a true drain cleaner as long as I wore gloves. It was a tough introduction to the trade, but after four years I was ready for the next step.
I landed a plumbing apprenticeship with a local shop and worked under some great journeyworkers until I earned my journeyworker license four years later. From there, I switched to union work and spent another year preparing for my master's license exam. All that continuing education paid off when I passed with over 90%.
Then I started Pipe Daddy Plumbing, something I never imagined back in those sewage filled basements.
Pipe Daddy isn't just me anymore. I've brought on Dan in the field and Jesse running the office, people who care about doing things right as much as I do. The truck got a little more crowded, but the goal hasn't changed:
Do the best plumbing work we can, the right way, every time.
Still wearing gloves though. — Nick

A small local crew, held to a Master Plumber's standard.
Nick
Nick founded Pipe Daddy after working his way up from drain cleaner to Master Plumber. He's still in the field turning wrenches, and every job the team does is held to his standard.
Dan
Hey! I'm Dan. I've been plumbing for 7 years now. I got into plumbing so I could work with my hands and not have to sit in an office all day. I also really enjoy feeling like I can directly help people with their homes. Outside of work I like to be outside as often as possible, whether it's hiking or some sort of game.
Jesse
Hi, I'm Jesse, the Office and Operations Manager here at Pipe Daddy. With a background in state regulatory services, I bring a genuine love for helping people and a major knack for organization to the table. Off the clock, you can find me cheering at my kiddos' baseball games, getting lost in a good book, digging in the garden, or hitting the pickleball court. I can't wait to help you get all your plumbing needs sorted out!
