What are your career journey highlights?
- Entering into the plumbing world
- Enrolling on ASPE
- Earning my CPD
What first got you interested in the plumbing engineering field?
Funny thing about life, when someone was needed to help on a plumbing project, with no experience, I was accepted. I still remember those first checks; they were a disaster. That's when I decided to take it as a challenge and learn what I needed to be up to the task. ASPE and my mentors were and still are a great help. By the way, I am still in the process.
What are the most exciting or rewarding aspects of your work?
Every new project is a challenge. To solve it, to know that it has been built as you imagined it, and to see that everything works as it should, that is the best reward.
What value have you gained from participation in ASPE Connect?
Continuing my education and learning, not only from the texts, but also from the experience of all the members.
What are some of the most interesting plumbing design challenges you have encountered?
There are always interesting details to be solved in the projects, and so far none of the projects I have been involved in have turned out the same way, even when there are identical rooms.
What is your favorite hobby or pastime outside of work?
Spend time with my family
