In Memoriam – Albert Dumont (Al) – Founder
Al joined the U.S. Marine Corps right after graduating early from high school. Shortly after, he was deployed to Vietnam. Upon returning from Vietnam, Al spent a decade at a trade school and apprenticeship programs where he successfully earned licenses in three trades – plumbing, HVAC, and electrical.
In his early career, Al worked as a licensed plumber, pipe fitter, and electrician at Kimberly Clark. In the 80s he started working on his own, and established a niche plumbing company Water Heater By Us, LLC. Al was a board member for the Industrial Management Training Institute (IMTI) in Waterbury, the same trade school he graduated from decades ago. Under Al’s leadership, many of his apprentices became successful tradesman and business professionals.
