Erik Suojanen has lived in the Tampa Bay area for 25 years. He and his wife Colleen have built Suojanen Enterprises, Inc. into a very successful company during the past 17 years.
Erik graduated from high school in Calumet, Michigan in 1980. He attended Northern Michigan University for three semesters and found that college was not for him. He left college, worked in Wyoming for a short time, and then moved to Florida where his grandparents resided. Erik was then hired by a local plumbing company as a plumber’s helper. After a year and a half, he was offered a position as a deck hand with Crusader Fisheries in Kodiak, Alaska. Erik took the position and worked in the Bering Sea for three years. After tiring of the long periods at sea, he came back to Florida and purchased Apple Polishing, a car polishing franchise. He went out of business within three months, but learned some very valuable lessons. Having little money and needing a job, Erik was fortunate enough to be hired by a friend who owned a small company. Erik worked his way into a position of responsibility in a short time and stayed with Dahir Plumbing until obtaining his Florida Master Plumber’s license in 1989.
Together with wife Colleen, Erik is raising a beautiful family while building a very successful business. The partnership that they enjoy has been one of respect, cooperation, and balance. Erik’s philosophy is such that everything is based on respect - for every living thing. Erik and Colleen intend to bring this same philosophy and balance to their new venture, The Pampering Plumber.
