Meet the Owners
Andrew Knapp
Managing Owner
Hi, I’m Andy Knapp — proud husband, dad, and founder of Platinum Plumbing Solutions.
I grew up in South Whitley, Indiana, and now call Columbia City home, where I live with my incredible wife, Amber, and our two beautiful daughters — Olivia (4) and Emma (2). They are the reason I wake up each day striving to build something meaningful — not just for our family, but for the families we serve.
With over 17 years of experience in plumbing and new construction, I've built my career on a foundation of honesty, hard work, and integrity. Those lessons were passed down to me by two of the greatest influences in my life — my grandparents, Rex and Kay. My grandpa taught me early on the importance of perseverance and never giving up when faced with a challenge.
When I started Platinum Plumbing Solutions, I didn’t want to just start a business — I wanted to create something that reflected those values. A company where people feel taken care of, respected, and confident the job will be done right.
Plumbing isn’t just a job to me — it’s about showing up, doing honest work, and making sure every family we help feels confident and cared for.
Matthew Antos
Co-Owner
Hi, I’m Matt Antos — proud co-owner of Platinum Plumbing Solutions. I was born and raised in LaPorte, Indiana, but in 2006, I made the move to Fort Wayne to pursue my dream of playing collegiate baseball. That decision turned out to be life-changing in more ways than one, as it’s also where I met my incredible wife, Cassie, just two years later.
Today, we’re raising two amazing kids: Isla, our curious and energetic 5-year-old daughter, and Hudson, our adventurous 2-year-old son. Being a husband and father is the greatest role I’ll ever have, and my family is truly the heartbeat behind everything I do.
Family is what inspired me to take the leap into business ownership alongside my partner, Andy. Together, we launched Platinum Plumbing Solutions not only to create a better future for our own families, but to bring a trustworthy, hardworking, and people-first approach to our community.
At the end of the day, I want to show my children that with dedication, integrity, and perseverance, anything is possible — and I want that same belief to shine through in everything we do at Platinum Plumbing Solutions.
