My father started an Air Conditioning Service Company in the late 1950’s, and I rode along with him at a young age and helped him while learning basic mechanical skills at a very young age.
When I was 14, he hired his attorney to take me to an adult night school for the instruction of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration principles.
At the age of 15, I took my heat and air test, and with a grade of 91, I passed and received my Master Refrigeration License.
In High School, during the 11th and 12th grade I took a Vo-Tech course in Sheet Metal manufacturing.
Upon graduation from High School, (1977) I convinced my father to buy some sheet metal equipment and we began doing commercial refrigeration. (Heating and Air Conditioning)
From 1977 until 1990 we did heavy mechanical construction including 14 Wal-Marts’ to several schools, banks, hospitals, including the V.A. Hospital and many more private and government projects.
