     For more than 40 years, Richard Trethewey has been teaching America about the thing they know little about – the mysterious world of plumbing and heating. Now he’s sharing his unique (and funny!) insights with his fellow professionals at PHCCCONNECT2019. As the plumbing and heating expert from the Emmy Award-winning home improvement show “This Old House” and its spin-offs, Trethewey will reveal his tricks for “talking tech” in what many consider a “non-tech world,” share why he calls himself a “certified PHCC brat” (growing up in a fourth-generation family business), and explain how he landed on “This Old House” at the age of 23 after his dad (a long-time PHCC supporter) relinquished the role. (“He got so nervous, it nearly killed him,” Trethewey says.) Don’t miss this fun and fast-moving session from one of our own!
