Jake began his plumbing career in Portland, Oregon in ​2005, completing his apprenticeship in June of 2010. During his apprenticeship he gained experience in a wide range of trade related activities, including new construction, remodel/renovation, and service/repair in residential, multi-family, commercial and light industrial applications.

Shortly after completing his apprenticeship, Jake joined the AREA 1 Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee, where he served as a board member until 2015. During his tenure on the Board, he was elected to the position of Chairman of the Education Subcommittee, which he continued to hold for two years until moving out of the region in 2015. During his time in Portland, Jake also became a licensed Plumbing inspector in 2013, holding licenses for the inspection of all residential and commercial plumbing installations. Additionally, he taught Plumbing Apprentices at Clackamas Community College during the 2014-2015 school year.

In 2015, Jake left the Portland area and moved to Central Oregon where he quickly recognized a lack of professionalism, customer appreciation and quality of work within the local industry. This realization prompted him to start Renaissance Plumbing LLC in 2016. Over the next 5 years Renaissance Plumbing set itself apart from the competition by valuing customers and refusing to compromise on quality of work and/or materials in order to increase profits.

In 2021, Jake and his family moved to Weatherford, Texas in search of a culture that more closely aligned with their personal and moral values. Since arriving in June of 2021, Jake has had the privilege of serving many of the fine people of Parker County and the surrounding areas. His commitment to providing excellent service and workmanship has never wavered and we feel blessed to be able to share that with you.

While Jake has a wide range of experience within the trade, he has chosen to focus his efforts on smaller residential service and repair projects. We hope you don’t need a plumber, but if you do, we hope you will give us the opportunity to serve you!
