I come from a small rural town, and I realized that there weren’t many opportunities other than farming in our area.
I really wanted to get out to get a good career and I talked to my best friend about it.
I was telling him that I had my eye on the HVAC industry, and he thought that sounded like a great move. I asked him if he would come with me to an HVAC trade school when we graduated from high school. He didn’t even hesitate, he said he was with me because he didn’t want to work on a farm for the rest of his days. We both talked to our parents about the move we were making, and they were upset about it, but they knew that we had to do what we felt was best. We both went to this great HVAC trade school and we earned our HVAC certifications. We ended up going back to our hometown because we missed our families and friends, and we thought it would be a great move to start up our own HVAC business. We learned a lot about working on heating and cooling systems and so we started the business out of the garage of my parents’ home. Eventually, we were able to make good money and a pretty solid customer base since we were the only HVAC professionals in our community. Instead of people paying a huge amount of money to get outside HVAC services, they were able to go through us. We became a big hit with everybody, and eventually we were able to buy our own official HVAC shop!
