Summary

Versatile HVAC/R and Controls Technician skilled at communicating with vendors, team members and customers. Looking to consistently improve my skills, knowledge, and career path with a progressive company providing essential and exceptional services.

I have 8 years of business experience in the Mechanical Contracting industry (HVAC/R, Plumbing, & Sheet Metal Fabrication) and 5 years of field experience in HVAC/R. I'm currently the lead maintenance technician and maintenance coordinator for clients with local medical offices in multiple hospital networks, private schools, multiple commercial offices, a college, commercial manufacturing facilities, and an electric power company. Over my years of regular service in these buildings, I've developed positive long-term professional relationships with facilities managers and employees in each of these buildings. Among other duties, I also quote and install HVAC/R controls and perform HVAC/R maintenance and services for residential and commercial clients.

I'm trusted for being an expert in WiFi controls, as well as any and all WiFi or Bluetooth service tools. My colleagues depend on me to assist with WiFi controls and high-tech service tools, as well as provide them with detailed information and/or manuals regarding new equipment or large jobs with various types of equipment. For example, I've been able to pinpoint intermittent issues with heat pump system EEV's by my ability to use and decipher information provided by the Daikin Bluetooth Service Tool, which is an engineering tool that Daikin-employed technical service technicians will not and are not trained to work with. I love tools and controls that improve efficiency, as well as give end-users relevant and useful information at their fingertips. I take great pride in the quality and proficiency of my work and my positive relations with colleagues, other contractors, and customers. I am proud to be a blue-collar tradesperson and am looking forward to continually improving my professional abilities and successes.
