Originally from southern California, my family moved to northern Montana when I was ten. I worked at a prison for two years, before becoming a Deputy Sheriff for five years. In 2005, my wife and I moved up to Canada, where I received my degree from Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, for my Journeyman Electrician License. In 2010, I became the Production Director for an air handling manufacturer in Calgary, Alberta. Through a mutual acquaintance, I was introduced to Mike and Tom Sullivan. After a visit to Arizona and speaking with both of them, I knew this was the place I needed to be. In April of 2021, we sold everything and made the trip down to Phoenix, to become the Production Director for Air₂O.
