"Moving to Florida from Wisconsin as a young man, I've seen a great need for keeping people comfortable when it's too hot. Likewise, the food industry struggles if the cooler or freezer goes down, as the entire business depends on the food that is stored. The area had a college that provided excellent HVAC and refrigeration education to get me started on a journey that ended up being my life.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a serviceman for a small company in Alabama. I knew that making people comfortable was what I enjoyed doing most. So, in 1989, I took a leap of faith, quit my job, and launched my own business, Northwest Refrigeration, with limited resources but lots of determination. Years later, I still enjoy providing comfort to others and have a vision to keep Northwest Refrigeration open for years to come, keeping it family-owned and operated."
