Growing up in Melbourne, RJ has always felt a strong connection to his local area. Outside of work, he enjoys hanging out with his family and indulging in his hobby of listening to music podcasts. “It’s my way of unwinding after a busy day of soldering and solving plumbing puzzles,” he explains.

Values and Life Lessons

Respect is a principle that RJ holds in high regard, both in his personal and professional life. “Respect for the work I do and for the people I serve is key to how I approach every job,” he says.

To stay ahead in the field, RJ relies on videos and practice to keep up with the latest techniques and technologies. “I’m particularly excited about epoxy liners for sewer lines,” he notes. This innovation is a game-changer in plumbing, offering durable solutions for repairs.
