It’s Elite Trades Championship Week! We’re coming to you once again from the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Fla., for the ServiceTitan Elite Trades Championship Series.
This is the 10th year of this series, celebrating the trades, and the 4th year of the ServiceTitan HVAC National Championship.
And two-time crossover champion Craig Childress, from Peabody, Mass., is back, looking to three-peat in the HVAC Championship. Childress became the first crossover champion, winning both the 2023 Plumbing National Championship and the 2023 ServiceTitan HVAC National Championship — and then repeated both championships in 2024.
The HVAC Championship kicks off the competition on Thursday, with the semifinals in the apprentice and professional divisions.
Plenty of familiar faces will be competing in the Professional HVAC finals — returning finalists Alex Ivey, Dalton Kapke and Joe Rittorno, along with Cody Hendrickx, Dale Arnold, Denny Purdy, Rocky Miller, Rusty Barnes and Scott Savidge.
On the Apprentice side, the finalists are Alejandro Aparicio, Bill Kinney, Braden Reeser, Jackson Wallace, Jake Kiese, Kirby Hess, Moe Hamdan, Nathaniel Magner, Rene Soto Flores and Robin Mae.
On Thursday, the 2025 Plumbing National Championship will include returning finalist Tim Quick, Carl Glenn, David Shanor, Evan Kline and Ian Edelbacher.
Stay tuned for live coverage throughout the week!
