At SCALT, we’re proud to spotlight the emerging talent redefining what it means to excel in the trades. Today we are recognizing Nathan Capeder of Rudd Home Services Plumbing, Heating, and Air in Moncks Corner, SC—a Silver Contractor Member—as our latest Rising Star of the Trades.
Nathan stands out not only for his 18 years of experience, but for the deep sense of purpose and perseverance he brings to every challenge—grounded in the support of his growing family.
“My wife, Madelyn, and our four children—soon to be five—are the reason I wake up each day and strive to be the best version of myself. I’ve been in the trades for 18 years, and I know firsthand the sacrifice that comes with this line of work—the long hours, the hard days, and the time spent away from family. But through all the ups and downs, I’ve had unwavering support at home, and for that, I’m truly grateful. Being nominated is an honor, and I sincerely appreciate the recognition,” shares Nathan.
As part of a new generation of trades professionals, Nathan isn’t just building systems—he’s building the future.
