James Peterson, the founder and president of James Peterson Plumbing and Heating, is a Cape Cod native. Born and raised in Falmouth, Mass, James was often found outside, building and creating things, riding around on a dirt bike or playing a sport. His drive for success has been apparent from the start. 

He first found his love for plumbing while attending Upper Cape Cod Technical School, where he thrived at the top of his class. He began an apprenticeship while still in school, and stuck with this job for almost 10 years. Here he was able to learn and grow as a professional. He also won a national award for his plumbing work and obtained multiple important certificates.

In 2020, James made the tough decision to begin his own business. Taking all of his knowledge and experience built up over the last decade, he has successfully grown the business beyond what he would have believed a year ago. Now a master plumber, he has expanded his team, and now has 5 years of business under his belt!
