John Diekel, Angel Investor

John Diekel is a small business owner, SMB & startup enthusiast, search fund operator, and angel investor. "Passionate about the blue-collar trades in our tech-driven society, I acquired Master Plumbing and Heating in May 2023, foreseeing a pivotal shift in business ownership. As a former flight commander, my military background deeply influences my leadership philosophy—building commitment to our core values over arbitrary rules. Transitioning from remote management during my military service, I now cherish the daily interactions with my incredible team. Believing in the power of investment in people, I'm committed to recruiting and retaining the most talented team in New England. Prior to my operational role, I completed my first search, and my enthusiasm for search funds and Master Plumbing and Heating remains unwavering. Passionate about mentoring, my interest in angel investing also stems from the joy of helping others."
