Starting his commercial plumbing career over 20 years ago, Neil quickly advanced in the ranks and began running projects only 6 months into apprenticeship fully understanding blueprints and overseeing licensed Journeymen and Master Plumber’s at one of the state’s most respected plumbing companies. Not long after being in the field, he shifted gears into estimating large scale multifamily projects and then on to project management. It was at this point that Neil took a broader interest in the construction industry and transitioned into general construction which
further expanded his overall knowledge of how a building comes together.
Having owned and operated two companies (one a commercial plumbing outfit and the other a turnkey general construction/MEP company), as well as completing a fully accredited degree in Construction Management, all the cumulative knowledge from each trade and different management styles is what led him into the Operations Manager role with 5280 Plumbing, Inc.
His primary objective is to improve cost tracking, job preparedness, communication and employee development both on a managerial and field level for employees. Bringing the ability to design in-house as well as teach the Project Managers how to do so has removed the majority of guesswork and time-consuming planning from the field’s Foremen.
Originally from Chicago, Neil served in the United States Army as a squad automatic gunner with the 25th Infantry Division. Beyond work, he maintains his fitness, engages in tactical firearms instruction, cherishes time with his supermodel wife and children, and moonlights as the crime-fighting superhero known as “Big McLargeHuge”.
