“My experience at the PHCC was awesome. It was a great opportunity to meet other apprentices from around the nation and to have a chance to compete against them hands on. All in all, it was a great experience, and I am thankful to Howe for allowing me to have the opportunity to go there.”
— Wesley Stroh
Wesley recently represented Howe at the PHCC competition in Deadwood, where apprentices from across the country came together to test their skills in HVAC and plumbing challenges designed to reflect real-world scenarios. The event gave participants the opportunity to compete at a high level while connecting with other tradespeople from around the nation.
Wesley got his start in the trades through training at Southeast Tech and has been working in the HVAC field for just over three years. A Sioux Falls native, he takes pride in serving the community he calls home and continues to grow his skills through hands-on experience and opportunities like PHCC.
When he’s not on the job, Wesley enjoys hunting, fishing, golfing, and spending time with family and friends.
We’re proud of Wesley’s hard work, growth, and the way he represented Howe at the PHCC competition.
