AARON
DRENIKOWSKI

Chamber Vice President 

NES Plumbing Heating Cooling

After graduating from Oakland University in 2013, I continued my Marketing career with the NBA where I gained a lot of experience with different cultures and personalities, traveling around the world. I was able to take the experiences and apply them to the standard marketing practices of NES. Being someone who enjoys working with my hands and figuring out how things work, I was quickly attached to the Plumbing and HVAC trade. Starting off as a general labor, in 2015, to moving my way up to the Office Manager, working with NES Plumbing, Heating and Cooling in Oxford has been an exciting experience of watching an entrepreneurs dream become a well-known local business. I look forward to serving on the Oxford Chamber and joining this wonderful community.
