Recently elected to the Board of Directors as Central District Director, David Straub currently serves the City and County of Denver as a plumbing inspector.

His three decades of plumbing experience encompass work as an apprentice, journeyman, foreman with Local 3 and private contractor. He has more than 17 years of experience as a plumbing inspector. For more than a decade, Straub has been an instructor for apprentice and journeyman plumbers. He is a certified United Association plumbing instructor and has spent several years as an instructor at the UA Instructor Training Program in Ann Arbor, Mich. 

“I have always felt privileged to work with the IAPMO organization”, Straub said. “I feel like so many people just go to work, go through the motions and collect a paycheck. IAPMO and its members are different — the people really care about their work and what they do.”

Straub is devoted to many things: his native Denver, his beloved Broncos and his golf game. But more than any of these, he is devoted to the plumbing industry and his work with IAPMO. Straub has been an integral part of the organization since 1995. He is a certified IAPMO inspector and serves on the Education Committee, of which he is currently the chairperson. Straub has knowledge in the Uniform Plumbing Code and the International Plumbing Code as both instructor and inspector. His experience and strong background in instruction come across in his presentation of materials and subject matter. He is an enthusiastic and well-organized instructor with much to share.
