The 2024 Plumbing National Championship, sponsored by SharkBite, has officially kicked off. Round 1 of the qualifying stages is now open to plumbers across the U.S.

Intersport announced highly-anticipated competition details for its ninth annual Elite Trades Championships Series (ETCS) with an expansion of ServiceTitan's support as title sponsor, the qualifying events schedule and the launch of a new website.

Scott Caron, master electrician and co-host of 'This Old House,' shares his journey to becoming a master electrician and highlights the pivotal role of trust, perseverance, and a supportive network in the trades. He also talks about his ongoing commitment to improving the perception of trades.

Chris Hunter, a ServiceTitan principal industry adviser, founder of Hunter Super Techs and co-founder of the GoTime Success Group, was proving a point: A career in the trades can provide all of that and then some.

Patrick Boldt was feeling the pressure. Sure, he was vying for a $25,000 first-place check. Sure, his HVAC unit fell over as he started the final competition. Sure, he was in front of the TV cameras.

That makes Craig Childress the best HVAC tech in the United States, and the proud owner of an exclusive title: The ETCS’ first-ever crossover champion.
