I’m a certified HVAC technician in Virginia, I have my universal EPA certification and a stationary engineer license in Maryland.
I feel that I have a lot of patience and understanding. I’m able to listen and have a good bedside manner.
I try to maintain open and clear communication with the members. I’m honest and transparent when helping each member with their issue.
Problem Solving. Seeing a member's face light up with satisfaction when the repair or improvement is complete is incredibly rewarding
I enjoy being a part of future technology that helps people.
Do your research and don’t be afraid to ask for assistance if it’s anything they are uncomfortable with.
Prioritizing safety isn't just a professional responsibility but also a moral one. Experts must be vigilant and proactive in creating and maintaining a safe work environment to protect the members and the homeowners we serve.
Fishing, painting, collecting vinyl and cassette tapes.
Orange is my favorite color because it’s bright and lively like the sun.

Helping to install and implement a HVAC control system in a museum.
A homeowner wanted to cool an older home that lacked central air conditioning. However, the home's design, which included narrow walls and limited space for ductwork, made it challenging to install a traditional central HVAC system. We recommend installing a ductless mini-split system. This system has an outdoor compressor unit and one or more indoor air handlers. It provides both cooling and heating without the need for extensive ductwork.
