Nations Best Plumber 2008

Some of you may know that my older brother R.J. is in his last year of plumbing school. Apparently at each school they have a yearly competition on plumbing skills both written and the hands on stuff. Well he won at his school a couple months ago, he went to state held up in SLC and won that. So off to nationals he went. They take 2 people from each state to this huge conference in Kansas City and they compete, they have all these different categories for the different fields of work like plumbing, carpentry, electricians.... Well he competed all week doing various things and taking tests and on Friday night at the awards ceremony he WON nationals!! So he won $4,500 in tools by Meineke, plus a couple other drills and such they give you there for winning, and $750 gift card to Carhartt. We are all really excited for him! Well done R.J. way to be the best!
