Aqua Celebrates Father’s Day with Father and Son Company
Co-owners of Aqua Plumbing & Air employed and now work alongside their sons
Sarasota, Fla. - Aqua Plumbing & Air, local heating, air conditioning, and plumbing company, is proud to celebrate Father’s Day with a unique focus on family: Co-owners Skip Stanton and Chuck Jacobson hired and work alongside their own sons in order to continue the family tradition of working and finding success in the skilled trades industry while serving the community.
With a mission to service customers and create relationships through plumbing and air conditioning service, installation and repair, Jacobson and Stanton aim to encourage, train and educate the next generation of skilled tradesmen and women, starting with their own children.
"There is a huge shortage in skilled trades because the next generation is being pushed exclusively into careers that require a university education," said Chuck Jacobson, co-owner of Aqua Plumbing & Air. "I'm thrilled to have my son, Ryan, work with me. Since he was a young man, I have instilled a strong work ethic and moral compass and showed him how to create something using your own hands."

“Whether it is how to throw a ball, ride a bike, shave, or tie a tie, the lessons fathers teach last a lifetime. Because of this, fathers and sons seem like the ultimate pairing for business, especially when they hand down the trades and skills they learned from their fathers,” said Jacobson. “The skilled trades industry is essential, and the importance of this industry is often overlooked. From roads to schools and hospitals, the air we breath and the modern technologies we enjoy, tradespeople have a direct hand in the success, safety, and health of our community, and we take that very seriously.”
With sons Michael & Matthew working alongside him at the company, Aqua Plumbing & Air co-owner Skip Stanton has a goal to continue training the next generation.

"We believe in supporting our future tradesmen and women, and that starts with breaking down the stigma surrounding the skilled trades and stress that an education in the trades is just as valuable as any other," said Stanton. "My two sons, Matt & Michael, bring a dynamic multi-generational depth to the workplace. I’m proud that my sons are continuing the trade and hope my grandson and Chuck’s grandson will join us when they are older.”
