My name is Drew Eman, and I am a founder of Comfortably Educated and co-owner of Comfortably Plumb. As a second-generation plumber, I have been around the plumbing industry my entire life.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong interest in water treatment and water quality. Working directly with homeowners has given me firsthand experience diagnosing water quality concerns, designing treatment solutions, and installing systems that improve the safety, quality, and performance of a home's water.

My goal is to help plumbers and water treatment professionals better understand the technologies, standards, and best practices that allow them to confidently serve their customers and grow their expertise.
