Summary
I have 14 years of experience in the commercial and mission-critical HVAC service industry, acquiring a wide range of skills. I am interested in continuing my career in the field while having access to the resources and training required to solve potentially challenging and complex issues.
I am always looking to take on more responsibility and learn different aspects of the business, both in the field and outside. I take great pride in my work and strive to bring the highest level of integrity and quality to everything I do for the company I work for and its clients, as well as in my personal life.
I constantly strive to be the best and most knowledgeable I can be, regardless of the area or topic, and to share this knowledge with my friends and coworkers.
I have accomplished this throughout my career by recognizing and taking every opportunity that puts me in new and challenging situations, which facilitates my constant growth and the growth of people around me.
