“As a Marine Corps veteran, I was excited that we – at Gator Plumbing – accepted the challenge of assisting with building Staff Sergeant Juan Roldan a home in Parrish. When looking for industry leaders to partner with I immediately thought about Gerber,” said William Smock, vice president of Gator Plumbing, Inc. “Gerber’s products deliver every time and we knew they would satisfy Roldan and his family.”
