Kristill, Jered, Brooklyn, And Reno Williams

Jered Williams (that spelling is accurate, his parent got a little creative in their spelling) grew up in Fairbanks and loves to call the Interior of Alaska his home.

Jered started working in the plumbing industry when he was just out of high school to support his young family. He had a child on the way and knew that plumbing was just one of the many ways he could provide for his wife and his son (not pictured).

Years, and one more child, later, he saw an opportunity to provide Fairbanks and North pole with a better breed of plumbing company. That was the seed of Prospector Plumbing.

He launched at first under the name J-Rod’s Plumbing and Heating with just a notepad, a van and years of plumbing experience. That dream later became the Prospector Plumbing that you know today.

He’s now joined in the company by his wife Kristill. The two love helping Alaskan homeowners get their plumbing problems solved while enjoying an active lifestyle of hiking, biking and snowboarding that only Alaska can provide.
