Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, shutdowns, employees leaving, personal milestones like my son’s birth, and health issues faced by my wife, I remained focused on our goals. Our perseverance culminated in 2019 in the construction of a brand new 20,000 sq ft warehouse and showroom on M43 Hwy in Paw Paw, which we moved into in 2021, earning the NFBA Building of the Year award in 2022. Today, we proudly employ over 20 full-time individuals, maintain 8+ service trucks, stock over 10,000 HVAC products, and have one of the largest HVAC public showrooms in the state.

What was your first job? Warehouse Worker – Started off sweeping the floors of the warehouse.
What motivates you to give back to your community? Growing up in Bloomingdale my entire life I have seen all the struggles that small communities face and I have worked relentlessly to build a company that is able to give back to our community. By investing in our community and supporting other local businesses, as well as working alongside them to give back we are able to turn these small communities into a place people are proud to call home. A little bit of effort can go a long way in helping others.
What Superpower would you most love to have? Super Speed would be my superpower of choice. I like to move very fast when it comes to completing things; the faster the better. But it’s not just about getting things done quickly; it’s also about the freedom and flexibility that comes with Superspeed. I’d be able to squeeze in a morning workout, make breakfast, and get all my daily tasks done before the sun rises.
What would you like to leave behind as your legacy once you are gone? Ultimately, my goal is to leave a lasting impact that extends far beyond my own tenure, a legacy that will continue to inspire and motivate future generations to strive for excellence, to push beyond their limits, and to become the best version of themselves.
