Dean Rothe was a plumbing apprentice while attending Clackamas Community College studying to be a journeyman. He then went on to work for several plumbing businesses in the Portland Metro area while also working part-time at Home Depot in their plumbing department. At this point, Dean started his own plumbing business while he taught plumbing code at night for Clackamas Community College. Then in 2006, he opened "NaDean's Custom Plumbing" and never looked back!
