What I Want to Be When I Grow Up – #101
Honestly, I NEVER thought I would be a plumber, it wasn’t even on my top 100 Things I Want To Be When I Grow Up list. Trash Man was like…number 8 (that was when the men would hang on the back of the truck and jump off…that looked fun to me when I was 7). But, after a stint in the Navy as an Air Traffic Controller, through Providence I wound up working for a wonderful Christian family that owned and operated a large plumbing company in Dayton, Ohio; where I learned the plumbing “businesss”. Later, when I pursued a music career in Nashville, TN I wound up working for the plumbing company who did a lot of the plumbing jobs for the country music stars of the day. Today, I have scars on my hands for work done in homes of some of country music’s biggest stars and personalities during the early 90s. Finally, with a dream of providing the BEST plumbing service possible in Indianapolis, a late model Dodge Van, and less than $500 I founded, along with my wife Laura, AttaBoy Plumbing Company. I never could have imagined that I would wake up every morning to work with the BEST family of plumbers and co-workers, to provide the best plumbing service and value possible in central Indiana. It is a dream come true.
The driving force and focus at AttaBoy Plumbing Company is to treat people the way I would want to be treated…fairly, honestly, and with respect. And that my friends is what AttaBoy Plumbing Company is all about. Treating people, both customers and plumbers, well. This interdependent relationship is my daily focus and work at the helm of AttaBoy Plumbing Company. From attracting the best professional tradesmen possible by providing a working environment where one is valued, respected, and able to provide for their family’s needs and aspirations… to… serving customers who wish to be valued as more than just a dollar sign, have their property and trust respected, and desire to get the most bang from their hard earned buck. At AttaBoy Plumbing Company, it’s not just about plumbing…it’s about people.
My bottom line: it is an honor to serve with the men and woman I work with. And, it would be my pleasure to serve you.
God Bless You,
Richard
