Accomplishments
I started my hvac career in 2001 at OSU okmulgee. My employer at the time was a long time family friend and he employed me while I was in school, working weekends, evenings and all off days from school. Also worked through internships I had most of my prerequisites completed at eastern Oklahoma state college so my schedule was pretty lax most semesters. I had a wreck in 02 and missed out on 2 semesters. Upon healing I started back to OSU tech and completed school in 2004. Tested and received journeyman mechanical incense upon completion in 2004. I worked for Harber another 12 years then decided to test for mechanical contractor in 2016. Started my own business that year and I’m currently still in operation.
