Get to Know Us

Steve is a Plumber with twenty years of experience, and a Veteran of the United States Marine Corp. He and his wife, Kristen, have lived in Idaho for five years and raised three wonderful children: Steven, Lucy, and Olivia. His favorite thing about Idaho is that we have mild winters and claims that sleeping has been his favorite hobby for the past forty-six years. When he thinks about the future, he sees himself owning at least ten rentals, obtaining more licenses within the plumbing industry, and spending more quality time with his children. His favorite thing about American Rooter & Drain is the comradery and watching one of our youngest Trenchless Technicians, Colton, thrive here by his side.

Christopher is a Master Plumber and has been working in this industry for seven years. He and his wife Jennifer have a six-year-old adorable son named Azariah. Chris was born and raised in Idaho. He loves the small-town roots (although they are growing) and the hometown values of helping one another when there is a need. He has loved to fish ever since he could cast a line as a little boy. Eventually he would like to own his own company and purchase his own home to settle down with his family. Working for Joshua Jordan has been a blessing and an eye-opening experience for him to witness a boss that truly knows how to take care of his employees; it inspires him daily.

Matt has lived in Idaho for his entire life. He loves to spend time in Cascade for recreational fun and he has five children, ranging in age from thirteen to twenty-nine. He is our Vehicle Maintenance Support here at American Rooter & Drain; keeping track of keys, oil changes, repairs and more. He has worked here for four years now, and he looks up to our Owner, Joshua Jordan. Matt sees that what we have here is rare and an opportunity to have a career under someone who cares about us as individuals and our families while pushing us to be the best version of ourselves at work and home.

Chris has been in this industry for fifteen years. He is married to Samantha with five beautiful children (including a brand-new set of twins). He is our Technician Supervisor here and has a long-term goal of creating his own branch to run and operate with American Rooter & Drain. On a personal aspect, he wants to increase his financial knowledge and learn more about business. His favorite hobby is shooting targets, and it is a new sense of enjoyment that he has found within the past two years. He has lived in Idaho for three and a half years and loves to hike and fish in the Snake River.

Gabriel and his lovely wife Kimberly have three children together. He has been in this industry for twelve years, lived in Idaho for twenty-two years, and is our Master HVAC Technician. He has a special passion for building things out of wood that began as a child. His expertise has come in handy with projects here that help our community and the youth to learn more about heating & air, and plumbing. His joy for small towns and open spaces has kept him in Idaho with his family so far, but eventually he plans to own five thousand units of commercial real estate and he is diligently praying for God to reveal the next step towards achieving it. His number one inspiration is Jesus Christ, whom he strives to walk with daily while exuding love, kindness, and generosity in honor of Him.

Travis and his gorgeous wife Jessica welcomed their precious little Layla Mae into this world, two months ago. He is a Veteran of the United States Marine Corp after serving from 2009 –2020 and has lived in Idaho for the past three years. He enjoys fishing in his free time and frequents the Snake River and Arrow Rock Reservoir for his next big catch. Travis has fifteen years of experience in this industry and operates as a Drain Technician for us. He is working towards being promoted as a Camera Supervisor with an external goal of starting his own clothing company. He gives credit to his own father for setting the example and teaching him to be a good man and dad.

Jason has a sweet toddler named Bentlee, and one on the way with his wife Jessica. He is a Parts Manager & Drain Technician that has been involved in this line of work for three years with the goal of becoming more proficient in our trade. He wants to continue growing personally and professionally while providing for his growing family. Music is something he has been passionate about for twenty years and his younger brother has inspired him to stick with it, noting that “Progress is progress no matter how small.” He has a love for mountains and good-hearted people. In the five years he has spent in Idaho, he has found Ketchum and Sun Valley to be the most ideal for outdoor activities when the weather permits.

Nick grew up in Idaho. He is married to Michelle, and they have four children together with their youngest only being three months old. He is a Veteran that spent eight years in the Army which led to two deployments in Afghanistan. Operating as a Drain Technician for the past year has been fulfilling for him since he continues to serve his community daily while advancing in his career within the plumbing trade. He loves Jesus first (as his Lord and Savior), his quality time with his beloved family, and the great outdoors where he can duck hunt, fish, and camp near the Snake River and Cascade.

Dominic is newer to Idaho, but he is well versed with 10 years of experience in trades and now operates here as an HVAC Technician. He is excited to fish and hunt but is still in the process of finding a favorite spot. He aims to shoot his first elk next hunting season and eventually be financially secure enough so his wife, Shelby, may stay home with their babies; they have their first little bundle of joy on the way. He finds comfort in our work atmosphere where we build each other up and push one another to do their best; it helps that he was raised by an amazing dad who taught him to be a good person and respectful to others.
