    With over two decades at Boys To Men Mentoring Network, my journey has been dedicated to transforming lives through experiential weekends and school programs that foster responsibility, positive choices, and accountability among youth. My expertise in workshop facilitation and youth mentoring has enabled us to create a supportive environment where boys can openly share and grow.

    As a seasoned Chief Success Officer, I leverage active listening, empathy, and empowerment skills to drive meaningful change. The impact of our efforts is evident in improved school grades, attendance, and reduced disciplinary issues. Guided by a mission to mentor the next generation, our team remains committed to helping young men carve paths toward healthy manhood.

    About Boys To Men Mentoring

    Our community based mentoring approach gives boys a variety of positive male role models who show up consistently, tell the truth about their struggles as men, ask the boys what kind of man they want to be, praise them for their gifts, support them when they mess up, and encourage them to become the man they want to be.

    Be Part Of The Solution

    Proven principles coupled with in-school and open-community mentoring programs offer teenage boys a safe space to share their feelings, fears, and traumas. Volunteer mentors provide vulnerable boys with the support and guidance needed to navigate challenges often faced during adolescence and develop the resilience necessary to cope with their issues.

    Grant has been with us for a few years now. David Chism was good friends with Grant's older brother. This is how we originally found out about Grant. We lured him into working with CBP knowing he had a strong work ethic and enjoyed the painting industry too. After just a year working in the field as a project manager, we had an opening as a lead estimator. We offered this position to Grant knowing that he also had great people skills. We taught him the art of estimating, and he doing extremely well pricing out projects for customers. We are very happy to have him as part of the team.

    In 1982, Pat and Mike offi­cial­ly found­ed Chism Broth­ers Paint­ing, mark­ing the com­mence­ment of a lega­cy that spans over four decades. Indi­vid­u­al­ly ded­i­cat­ed to their craft, they have exem­pli­fied the seam­less inte­gra­tion of char­ac­ter and crafts­man­ship. The eth­i­cal stan­dards instilled by their father guide the selec­tion of a team that shares a com­mit­ment to qual­i­ty and integrity.

    Chism Broth­ers Paint­ing has always been a fam­i­ly oper­a­tion. Even Mike’s kids have been active­ly involved in the busi­ness, con­tin­u­ing the tra­di­tion into the present day. How­ev­er, the pas­sage of time brought pro­found change in 2006 when the paint­ing com­mu­ni­ty mourned the loss of Pat Chism. His lega­cy, built on supe­ri­or crafts­man­ship and unwa­ver­ing char­ac­ter, con­tin­ues to inspire every stroke of the brush.

    Tran­si­tion unfold­ed in 2023 as Mike Chism, hav­ing ded­i­cat­ed decades to the busi­ness, chose to retire. The reins of Chism Broth­ers Paint­ing were hand­ed over to David Chism, Mike’s son, who has been an inte­gral part of the busi­ness since its inception.

    David’s jour­ney is a tapes­try of diverse expe­ri­ences with­in the com­pa­ny. From his ear­ly days work­ing in the field to con­tribut­ing to mar­ket­ing, sales, and oper­a­tions, David embod­ies the spir­it of the Chism lega­cy. For a sea­son, dur­ing school, he was in charged with keep­ing on the CBP vehi­cles squeaky clean too! With enthu­si­asm and pride, he steps into the role of the new own­er, eager to con­tin­ue the fam­i­ly tradition.

    Nick joined Legacy Decks in 2017 after avoiding risk in the insurance industry. Now he feels the only thing koi about a backyard should be a pond. He loves thinking outside the box by designing curved decks. The only thing he loves more than bent boards is a bent rod on the river as he and his wife both enjoy escaping to the river to fly fish with their 2 dogs.

  • Ep 148 PHCC San Diego Chapter- PHCCSD.org
    Dec 20 2024
    PHCC San Diego Trades Expo 2/1/25 RSVP HEREMISSION & VISION

    Our Commitment to Our Contractors is Everything

    The heart of the San Diego PHCC chapter beats at the same pulse as our original founders, and even now, more than a century later, the importance and excitement of the PHCC mission have not been diluted. That mission is to advance and educate the plumbing and HVACR industry for society's health, safety, and comfort and to protect the environment.​

    Tradesmen that elect to join their local PHCC commit to the collective values of trust, integrity, and service that our chapter has become known for. When you see a technician with a PHCC patch, you know you are working with skilled tradesmen you can trust.

    Today, the Academy stands strong and steadfast with terrific staff, an improved curriculum, and a growing number of hands-on labs. The PHCC of San Diego Academy continues to add programs based on the needs of the industry, like the Back-flow Certification. Efforts also extend beyond the classroom, with an increased focus on community outreach specifically to San Diego County Agencies, high schools, and the military. Our office can also act as a recruiter for individuals seeking employment in the P-H-C industry. We do our best to match individuals to members based on their location, experience and initiative.

    Our History

    During the 1880’s, the transition from outhouses to indoor plumbing was moving at a rapid pace, starting with better homes and commercial buildings. The burgeoning market for indoor plumbing spurred some gasfitters and other metal workers to specialize in this work.

    The true craftsmen sought ways to distinguish those who knew what they were doing from those who didn’t. In 1882, a group of these new tradesmen in New York City banded together to form the Master Plumbers Association of New York. Shortly afterward, a like-minded group joined forces in Brooklyn.

    In 1883, the 125 members of the New York group formed the National Association of Master Plumbers (NAMP) to provide the public with a complete, safe and sanitary plumbing system. NAMP was the forerunner of the National Association of Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors (NAPHCC), which in 1962 became the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors National Association (PHCC).

    The association has evolved over time, always upholding the standards that advance the industry and protect public health and safety. Today, PHCC continues its tradition of excellence by providing the best education, advocacy and connections to help its North American network of professionals strengthen their businesses—now and in the future.
