I have lived in Oregon since 2003, first in Rogue River and then Albany since 2005. I spent the majority of my adult life in Montana, where most of my family resides. I have come to love this State. It reminds me a lot of Montana with all the natural beauty and access to so many outdoor activities, only without the extreme cold. I joined the Air Force while still in high school, and shortly after graduation, I entered active duty. I spent 2 years in Germany, and was fortunate enough to have seen a great deal of Europe. After my military service, I attended San Joaquin Delta College and graduated with high honors from the heating , air conditioning and refrigeration program. I served an apprenticeship and became a journeyman service technician in 1989. I have been a service technician in the heating and air conditioning trade for over 30 years. During that time, I have gained a great deal of valuable information and experience. I have attended many classes and seminars related to the industry, and am a NATE certified technician. I have also continued my education at LBCC taking courses from Algebra to Biology, which have helped me to grow as a person. Over the years I have earned a reputation for being able to solve complex problems, and not giving up until the issue is handled to the best of my ability, and the satisfaction of the customer. I spent a fair amount of time over the last few years debating on which direction to take my life. The heating and air conditioning trade is a hard one, and meant for the young. But after deep consideration, and no small amount of persuasion from family and friends, I started Expert Heating and Air Conditioning. I am grateful for their support and encouragement, because without it, I would never have considered such an endeavor.
