As the proud owner of The Water Man. I’ve spent over six years in the water treatment industry, helping families and businesses improve the safety and quality of their water. From routine service calls to unexpected surprises—like encountering a 15-foot python in an empty home—I’ve seen just about everything this line of work can throw at you. Through it all, my mission has remained the same: to provide reliable, honest solutions that make a real difference in people’s lives. I was raised between Loves Park and Belvidere, eventually making Belvidere my permanent home after meeting my wife at 18. Now, as a husband of over 16 years and father of two, I’m deeply rooted in this community. I also serve on the building and grounds crew at our local church, and I take great pride in helping keep our shared spaces safe and well cared for.
