Hey, I'm Roger Wakefield "The Expert Plumber" on YouTube
I am a licensed Master Plumber with 45 years of experience. I started doing YouTube in 2018 as a way to make my phone ring for my plumbing company. Since then I’ve grown to over 750K+ YouTube subscribers, 1.7 million followers across platforms, and more than 156M+ views on YouTube by teaching people what they need to know about plumbing — and in 2026 the U.S. Department of Labor put me on the Freedom Stage at America’s 250th on the National Mall.
The trades need the next generation badly: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects roughly 79,900 plumber job openings every single year this decade. That’s why everything I build points the same direction, making the skilled trades Plan A.
What I work on today:
– Education & content — daily videos, shorts, and articles teaching plumbing skills and trade careers to 1.7M+ followers
– Leak-Pro — professional leak-detection equipment and 2-day hands-on certification training for plumbers in Wylie, Texas
