When not up on a roof you can find him teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Olathe area. 

Jose is the Repair and Warranty Specialist, but prefers to be thought of as a “leak-chasing ninja”.  He loves the challenge of hunting for an elusive leak, the thrill of climbing challenging roof surfaces, and being the hero that solves the client’s problem.  When not in ninja mode you can find Jose letting loose with friends and family making memories, keeping up with his three little ones, and working on cars with his brother.
