From Technician to
Engineering Leader.
I built my career from the ground up, progressing from labor roles into technical service, then into engineering-focused industrial refrigeration. Along the way, I’ve led major supermarket, ammonia and transcritical CO₂ projects, executed compressor and motor changeouts, commissioned complex commercial and supermarket systems, and solved high-risk failures where uptime was critical. My path has been defined by continuous education, hands-on problem solving, and a commitment to mastering both the mechanical and strategic sides of the industry. I combine field-tested technical depth with operational leadership and forward-looking innovation.
Large-scale
Refrigeration
Projects
Led execution of complex Freon, ammonia, and transcritical CO₂ installations, compressor changeouts, motor upgrades, condenser/evaporator swaps, and system retrofits, delivering reliable performance, code compliance, and minimized downtime in mission-critical environments.
Leadership
Impact
Directed field teams, developed technicians, and aligned operations with business objectives—improving productivity, accountability, safety culture, and long-term workforce capability across multi-site refrigeration operations.
Commissioning
Expertise
Commissioning specialist with extensive supermarket startup experience, complemented by industrial commissioning of evaporators, screw compressors, large electric motors, and VFD systems—ensuring performance validation, control stability, and long-term operational reliability.
Measurable
Operational
Improvements
Implemented root-cause diagnostics, proactive maintenance strategies, and system optimization measures that reduced repeat service calls, improved energy performance, and increased overall equipment uptime.
Professional Mission
My mission is to be a leader in the refrigeration industry with discipline, endurance, and continuous growth. I routinely work 12-hour days in demanding mechanical environments, then dedicate my nights to advancing my education in mechanical engineering—all while remaining committed to my family at home. That balance reflects how seriously I take responsibility, both professionally and personally. I am pursuing a mechanical engineering degree with the long-term objective of earning my Professional Engineer (PE) license. I intend to pair field-proven technical judgment with licensed engineering authority to design, optimize, and lead high-performance refrigeration systems at the highest level.
