Tom S. - Founder and CEO of DEA-Bathroom Machineries.
(A.K.A. The Head Guy, Chief, Slim, Fearless Leader)
Theme song “Wild Thing” by The Troggs (don’t ask)

Tom is a veteran world traveler, and is known for his creative plumbing skills. He started Domestic Environmental Alternatives with a partner, Mike S. after a particularly wild trip rafting down one of our local wild and scenic rivers. Bathroom Machineries came about when Tom just could not bring himself to throw away old fixtures that were being pulled out of a house being replumbed. Next thing you know, two warehouses were full of old parts, and the rest is history!

Patty is a recent transplant from Southern California, and has joined our staff as the Office Manager. Her knowledge of antique plumbing is growing by leaps and bounds and she is not sorry she decided to make the career change and get out of Property Management. Her spare time (yeah, right) is devoted to riding and driving the Haflingers ( apparently these are horses, not her neighbors), a hobby she shares with her husband, Van. We knew she would be a great fit when she listed her theme song on her resume. How could we pass that up?

Ray R. - Buyer/ Customer service representative
A.K.A. Punkin, The Lone Ranger, Evil Ray
Theme song, “William Tell Overture” by Rossini
E-mail ray@deabath.com
After breaking large pieces of equipment at HP, he hired on as our Shipper. Next thing you know, he’d worked his way up to buyer, probably because he was the only one who knew where everything was. He knows our stock better than anyone, give him a call.
In his spare time, Ray tries to chop off his fingers with Radial arm saws. He also builds world-class Airplane models, and is one of the few people around who has had a .45-70 rifle explode in his hands and survive. Basically, he’s only got a couple of lives left....

Jim M - Customer Service Rep.
(A.K.A. ‘Lil Jimmy, Saint James of the Antique Keys, Ifoman, “Tooter”)
Theme song “I Still haven’t Found what I’m Looking for” by U2 (he’s been married twice, need we say more)
Email jim@deabath.com
Jim has led an interesting life. Known for his extensive collection of Coprolites and meteorites, his house is really a museum. Needless to say, he’s single.... 
This is the guy who actually won a California state contest for the weirdest collection and wound up becoming national news. So, who knows what a Coprolite is? Let’s just say they’re fossilized and leave it at that.
Jim has been employed here of over 10 years, and his knowledge of plumbing is extensive. Give him a call!

Matt S. - Data Entry Rep.
(A.K.A. The new guy)
Theme song “When the Saints go Marching in”- the Louis Armstrong version
Matt is our other resident computer nerd... Here’s the guy that in some circles, has been the person accused of naming the Internet “internet” He actually received phone calls from the FBI in regards to this. We could tell you the whole story, but then we’d have to kill you. While the story isn’t completely true, (darn it!) it sure makes for great rumors... See, it really wasn’t the government. All the conspiracy theorists can now rest!

Matt also plays bass in his local church, but don’t call him a musician!
We’re slowly breaking him in the esoteric world of antique plumbing. We’ll get him answering the phone and your questions yet!

Rob C - Restoration shop Guru
(A.K.A. The Artiste, grumpy old man)
Theme song “Love is all you Need” by The Beatles
I am the guy who makes ugly look beautiful, if lamp fixtures, or bathroom fixtures, I find each piece I restore as a work of art. I'm still amazing myself after all these years. My latest restoration is my best, compared to my last restoration from years ago, they are all the same, right out of the box when the product was purchased 80 to a 100 years ago.
My greatest compliments come when a client says, "You must have substituted a reproduction for the nasty looking original sent to you, did you keep my precious original antique and give me a reproduction?" (Note; Rob wrote this, the webmaster isn’t responsible for it’s content or structure. Yes, he’s a Sonora High graduate!)

John V. - Operations Manager/Webmaster
(A.K.A Crane plumbing guy, shop guru, Hey you)
Theme song “Back in black” by AC/DC
Email john@deabath.com
I started here on September 11, 2001. Talk about a rough first day! Originally I was hired as the Shop foreman as I had both worked as a finish plumber and had also spend many years working with antique furniture restoration. Eventually, I was bumped up to the position of Webmaster as it was far easier to find another plumber than it was to find a webmaster that was also familiar with antique plumbing.
I’m happily married, with two kids, William and Hannah. In my spare time I enjoy trying to break my Jeep on large rocks and also can be found scrambling through Ghost towns and abandoned mines. Fortunately, the surrounding area is chock full of interesting sites!
