What began as a return home to help his uncle in the plumbing business quickly evolved into a full-fledged entrepreneurial journey—one shaped by discipline, service, and a deep commitment to the community. Chris shares how he went from studying Arabic and Middle East Studies to modernizing a multigenerational plumbing company. He opens up about the realities of buying a family business, managing rapid growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, and cultivating a team culture built on integrity, relationships, and customer-first service. From building trust through genuine communication to giving back through veterans' programs and youth sports sponsorships, Chris demonstrates what it means to lead a business that serves both customers and the community. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating a trades-based business or seeking a grounded, mission-driven path to success.
