About us

One day in late spring 2023, Mr. Lama's sump pump stopped working, and he urgently needed a plumber to fix the issue.

Like many consumers today, he looked online for plumbers and found only a few.

Mr. Lama found that locating a local plumber was somewhat hectic and time-consuming.

Mr. Lama asked a plumber to visit his home to examine a problem with his sump pump. 

A few hours later, the plumber arrived, inspected the sump pump, and confirmed that a new one was needed. 

Mr. Lama then asked how much the new sump pump and repair services would cost. The plumber quoted a price that was much higher than expected.

It took Mr. Lama almost half a day to find a plumber who could replace his broken sump pump at an affordable price. 

One evening, a few weeks later, after Mr. Lama had finished mowing his lawn, neighbors stopped by to compliment its appearance and asked for a plumber's recommendation regarding a sump pump issue they had heard about.

After his neighbor repeatedly asked for a plumber's contact information, Mr. Lama decided to create an online business information lookup website called findbo.net, specifically for Michigan residents.

As a consumer, Mr. Lama recognized and understood that there are plumbing issues, the garage door is not working, car trouble, and the heater is not working, so they need to be taken care of as soon as possible. 

Unfortunately, not everyone has the time or the skills to fix plumbing problems.

Therefore, hiring a professional plumber to fix your plumbing problem is essential.

In July 2024, the FINDBO team launched a new free online business lookup website, findbo.net, specifically for Michigan residents. 

The findbo.net site provides a list of essential businesses/ contractors and their services, such as plumbers, garage door repair, auto repair, carpet cleaning, plumbing, electricians, heating and cooling, roofing, towing, physical therapists, chiropractors, and more.

 In 1998, Mr. Lama began his career in the IT field as a programmer analyst at the University of Michigan's IT department in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 

Mr. Lama has over 20 years of experience as a business data analyst in the information technology industry. 

Throughout his career, he has built a strong foundation in designing, developing, and supporting custom web applications. 

He has worked across various sectors, including automotive, security, finance, and retail e-commerce. His expertise in back-end and front-end systems allows him to effectively bridge the gap between technical requirements and business objectives. 

This unique skill set enables him to deliver innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiency and drive success. 

 In 2024, Mr. Lama established FINDBO LLC in Howell, Michigan.

Today, Mr. Lama applies his experience and skills to work on the FINDBO projects.
