Mike brings 44 years of experience in the plumbing industry as the Chief Executive Officer for the Brewer Companies, a family of businesses that provide plumbing services to the retail, residential new construction and commercial markets. He has held the role of strategist and visionary for the overall enterprise since its inception.

He opened the first Benjamin Franklin Plumbing service and repair retail franchise in Arizona in 2003 and provides the commercial markets drain and service needs with Brewer Commercial Services since 2007.

In today's show, we are putting Billy Alfaro in your passenger seat to share his story on how the trades had a big impact in his life. Billy's story intertwines with our previous two guests as we conclude what turned into a three-part series. Like Brandon and Jon, Billy grew up in a difficult environment that refined him in ways that still drive his conduct today. But Billy's focus in many ways wasn't solely about himself, but about looking out for his younger brother. Something inside of him propelled him with a desire to protect and be a role model, so he invested himself into mentoring. Ironically, his mentees found their way into the trades first and Billy followed later starting from scratch to become a plumber. Billy shares about how his experience growing up helped him choose to be someone to look up to and how this same mindset determines his day-to-day outlook in the trades. If you missed episode 64 and 65, be sure to catch them first as we conclude this family-centered, determined series.

In today's show, we are putting Brandon Hernandez in your passenger seat to share his story on how the trades had a big impact in his life. Growing up best friends with our previous podcast guest, Jon Perez, Brandon was also left questioning what to do at the end of high school. Making the choice to jump into the trades he attended Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology majoring in plumbing. Graduating the program, he immediately got a job with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lancaster, PA and began his career. A quick study with a stubborn determination to learn Brandon rapidly moved from apprentice to his own truck. Along the way he learned many of the principles and foundations that would propel him to more in his next career. Working a time in plumbing, Brandon eventually went on to pursue a deeper calling within law enforcement. While it was the ending of his career in the trades, what he had learned set him up for success. Now a SWAT team officer at the age of 25, Brandon shares about his journey and how each step along the way made a difference for what would come next.

In today's show, we are putting Jon Perez in your passenger seat to share his story on how the trades had a big impact in his life. Graduating high school, Jon was faced with the typical “what am I going to do with my life” question. However, in Jon's case the answer to that question required more urgency because he no longer had a place to live. Hopping from couch-to-couch Jon considered his options and decided to check out a local trade school to see about the plumbing program. Deciding to give it a chance he jumped head first into the trades with zero previous experience. Starting with how to read a tape measure and progressing into piping, soldering, and more Jon was a quick study. Transitioning into the real world he started his plumbing career with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lancaster, PA and put his education to work. While it hasn't been easy, the trades gave Jon an opportunity to make a better life for him and his family. No longer couch surfing, Jon is the proud owner of his own home and has aspirations for more. Listen to this life changing story of how the trades changed one man's path.

In today's show, we interview special guest Paul Francis. Paul is a sewer and drain plumber with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lancaster, PA. Paul is no stranger to unique work environments. Starting his career in the food industry, he opened several restaurants and focused on catering, hospitality, and more. Developing his people skills in the demanding restaurant business, Paul learned how customer service is at the forefront of the industry. Translating that same skill set into plumbing was a mere matter of picking up the technical piece which Paul did quickly. Sharing his niche advice, Paul breaks down his rise to success in the ditch and what makes it so rich.

In today's show, we interview special guest Brad Hauck. Brad serves as the service coordinator and dispatcher for One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, and Mister Sparky Electric; all located in Lancaster, PA. Prior to taking his role as master of the schedule, Brad was a HVAC technician himself for many years. This unique combination of both field experience and strong organization has empowered Brad to maximize efficiency in his day while not losing site of what it was to be a technician. In the service industry, time is a key motivator not only to the customer you are serving (by arriving on time) but also to the service professional. If you waste time through the day, your lack of efficiency can end up costing you opportunity. If you arrive late at your first call, you may not have the opportunity to have that last call in you day and in turn cost you possible income. We break down some advice from the scheduler Yoda on making the most of your home services day.

In today's show, we interview special guest Brennan Machemer. Brennan entered into plumbing trade school after graduating. After years of working during the day and school at night, he eventually got his journeymen card and recently secured his master plumber license.

Currently serving as a field supervisor with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lancaster, PA, Brennan is responsible for the morale and leadership of his team. Brennan shares his perspective on what gets him up in the morning and what keeps him going through the day.
