Don Wood graduated from Franklin High School in 1974. That same year he entered MTSU to pursue a degree in Chemistry. In order to help meet financial obligations, he worked part-time for a residential plumbing contractor. Don graduated from MTSU in 1978, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry.
Upon graduation, he made the decision to remain in the plumbing industry, organizing Wood Plumbing Company on May 26, 1978. The company started with one employee. In the fall of 1979, Don was granted permission to take the Metropolitan-Nashville-Davidson County Master Plumber Examination. At that time he was the youngest person in the history of Nashville to obtain his plumbing license.
In the beginning, Wood Plumbing Company’s primary area of service was residential dwellings in Williamson County. The early years were extremely difficult as the building industry went into a recession.
