I spent my younger years working in construction, mastering the trade. When the economy took a hit in 2008, I expanded my knowledge and began working in Refrigeration and HVAC at Hill Air Force Base. Due to my hard work and outgoing personality, I was offered the opportunity to manage all the maintenance for the Commissary at Hill. Since then, I've expanded to oversee all maintenance needs for 17 bases across 6 different states. Our services include general maintenance, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration.
