Summary

When initially joining the work force after High School, I began work as a farmhand on a sugarcane estate in Jeanerette, Louisiana. While working for Dixieland Farms, I learned to tolerate very harsh working environments, such as extreme summer heat, cramped working spaces, long periods near loud fume filled motor areas, etc. Facing the everchanging mechanical and enviornmental complications present on a large farm, coupled with daily impending deadlines, I learned that I was well prepared for the beginning of my career in the HVAC industry.


I have a strong desire to serve my community and help others, especially in times of need. Once realizing that the HVAC field could provide the opportunity for a solid lifetime career and the satisfaction of assisting the people of my community, I enrolled in The Training Center of Heating and Cooling in Spring/Houston, Texas. Upon completion of the HVAC school mentioned prior, I then enrolled in an appliance repair school, Same Day Appliance Repair Academy (Houston, Texas), to further my knowledge & repair possibilities within the refrigeration industry.


Once completing the two schools mentioned above, I accepted a position as a HVAC technician with Eleet Mechanical Group in Mansfield, Texas. There I began my journey in obtaining experience for a solid base as a new HVAC technician. While employed with EMG I learned the makeup of light commercial and residential high temperature refrigeration equipment. I became versed in trouble shooting and repairing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment. I gained experience in quickly identifying problems and being able to explain them to customers prior to the necessary repair.


I spent approximately one year employed with EMG before deciding that the DFW area was not as appealing to me as my home area of Houston/Magnolia, Texas. While living away for that time, I learned that being more near my family and close friends was where I really desired to live. Although leaving an employer that I liked and deeply respected was difficult, I ultimately knew that moving back to my home town was where I wanted to continue my career for years to come.
