Summary
I am a family man first with a wonderful wife and two amazing children. Second to that my life outside of family has been to continuously grow my knowledge and excell in the world of HVAC and refrigeration. I have been in the field since 2014 and started with no schooling and it was pretty much sink or swim. Over the years of providing maintenance and service to various types of residential, commercial and restaurant based equipment I have learned how to diagnose and repair ice machines, walk-in coolers/freezers, package units, fan power boxes, VFD's, exhaust fans, shop heaters, humidifiers, makeup air units and everything in-between. I am hopeful to expand my knowledge further in VAV's, chillers and specialized equipment. I work well with others and always try to maintain a positive and professional attitude and believe I make a great asset to any organization that also cares for and respects it's employees.
