Sam Waller

April 14, 2023 / Heather Davis /

Sam started in the water industry in 2015 with most of his work in wastewater and distribution. He has had a wide range of experience from installing septic tanks to installing water meters and trouble shooting plants. Sam has a degree from LBCC in Water/Wastewater technology and a degree in Firearms technology from the Sonoran desert institute.

Prior to his work in the water field Sam spent 16.5 years in the US Navy as a Chief Hospital Corpsman (medic). During this time he got to travel to over 10 countries and have lots of great experiences. Sam also spent 6 years with a small fire department and worked on an ambulance.

Currently Sam enjoys spending time with his lovely wife and 4 young children. His hobbies now are taking his kids fishing or teaching them to shoot accurately and fast.
