About
John Durino was born and raised in Lyndon, Kansas. With his first job as a plumbers helper in 8th grade, plumbing has been in his bones since childhood. Growing up, he’s also worked as a concrete laborer, cabinet & countertop installer, hardware store supervisor, and plumbing department manager. He started plumbing full-time in 2006, received his journeyman license in 2010 and his Master Plumber License in 2016.
In 2012, John and his wife, Sarah, and their two sons, Dylan and Chance, moved to Bozeman, Montana and lived there for 4 years. They had a great time growing professionally and as a family. As a plumber in Montana, John worked on some of the largest custom homes in the country. Although they enjoyed Montana, the winters were long and relatives lived back in Kansas; so they moved to Lawrence in 2016 and shortly after had their 3rd son, Quinton.
John loves the small town feel of Lawrence, with all the opportunities of a larger city. He spends his free time enjoying outdoor activities, coaching his sons’ baseball teams, and being active in his church and through the community.
