RIDGID representatives delivered the prize package to Grogan's plumbing services business on July 29, 2010.

"I stumbled across the contest when I was researching product information on the RIDGID website, and decided to enter on a whim," said Grogan. "I am incredibly thankful to RIDGID, and completely overwhelmed that I won. These RIDGID prizes couldn't have come at a better time!"

The contest, which ran from February 1 through June 30, 2010, was created to promote RIDGIDConnect, a subscription-based, online business tool designed for service professionals and contractors who create or use digital information. It was open to professional contractors throughout North America. Participants entered the contest online or via mail. Grogan was randomly chosen out of several thousand entries.

"This RIDGID prize package will change the way I do business," commented Grogan. The subscription to RIDGIDConnect, combined with all the digital equipment will allow me to be completely digital and exchange information easier and faster. I am particularly excited to use the laptop and the laptop interface combined with the inspection camera system."

"This RIDGID prize package is allowing me to jump right into the digital world—and it will create a lot of additional opportunities for my company!" added Grogan. "Instead of trying to keep track of DVDs, VHS tapes, digital pictures and videos about sewer inspections and commercial projects, being digital will allow us to get organized on RIDGIDConnect and put a portal on our website that our customers can access at any time."

Pat Grogan is the owner of Pat the Plumber, a plumbing and drain cleaning company that services the Topeka, Kan. area.
