"""If you have passion and dedication, you will be an asset wherever you choose to work. Your core values will be a compass that will keep you moving in the right direction.""-Joey Snider

Go to college or learn a trade? For Joey Snider, this common high-schooler's dilemma was easily resolved. He was going strong as a teenage apprentice plumber. That is, until his parents packed him off to college. But Joey couldn't stay away for long, and after eight years becoming a master in his trade, he bought and built up his own plumbing and water treatment company into a multi-van, seven-figure business.

If Water Runs Through It, We'll Do It, is full of stories, insights and takeaways that span the trying times, the funny times, the mistakes and the ""can't make this stuff up"" shockers over four decades as a plumbing technician and business owner.
