I have been in the HVAC/R industry since 1976. I have recently moved from Billings
Montana to Katy Texas to be near the grandchildren and their parents.
Having been in the industry for so many years, I have been fortunate with the natural
progression of my career with regard to opportunities available to me and the experience gained
with each progression of my career. From my initial education at National Technical School In
the mid 70’s too my most recent employment, I have always taken advantage of learning from
both the best and the worst examples of service and technical skills of those I have had the
opportunity to work with and for.
Thank you for your time in reviewing my resume and please do not hesitate to contact
me.
