Levi Torres owner of High 5 Plumbing has created an in-house system with strong company culture to develop plumbers who deliver a fantastic experience for their customers

I connected with Levi Torres after watching his videos on Tik Tok. What impressed me with High 5 was the employee involvement in the social posts. They just looked like they were having a lot of fun at work.  In researching the company I noticed they had over 2000 google reviews all 5 star. I had a good time interviewing Levi and was impressed with his involvement in his community, and how he built his business from scratch. 

Since 2012 Colorado native, Levi Torres and his wife Cassi have owned and operated High 5 Plumbing, an award winning, family-owned company serving residents in the greater Denver metropolitan area. With a professional team that has extensive experience and a commitment to service, High 5 Plumbing offers comprehensive plumbing, sewer and drain services.

The company was built on the values of solving plumbing problems and serving every customer with professionalism and respect. Levi believes that making an impact through High 5's has taught his team that they are much more than just a plumbing company and sees positive effects through customers, community, and his team one High 5 at a time!

US Navy Diver Commercial Diver who after 20 years in the industry and traveling the world made a career change to help prepare the next generation of Carpenters.

Joe Cadwell works as an apprentice coordinator for the Pacific Northwest Carpenters Institute in Portland Oregon.  After working 20+ years as a commercial diver for the Carpenters Union, Joe began a new career in 2019 as an apprentice coordinator and instructor for the Pacific Northwest Carpenters Institute, based in Portland, Oregon.

His understanding and appreciation for those who do the hard, dirty and sometimes dangerous work of construction is apparent in his bi-monthly podcast.

Joe created Grit Nation to shine a positive light on the many misconceptions surrounding careers in the blue-collar trades. Every episode is built to redefine what it means to possess skills that can’t be outsourced or rendered obsolete overnight. Skills that provide a pathway to professional and financial success all while building the infrastructure and generational wealth of our nations.

Through inciteful and probing conversations with building trades professionals, authors, and industry leaders, Joe digs deep to uncover the truth about the often misunderstood and under-appreciated blue-collar trades and the people who do them.

"Podcasting has allowed me to meet an amazing cross section of an industry that I am proud to be part of".
