I was raised in a family owned restaurant for the first 22 years of my life. Shortly after high-school I went to junior college for HVACR. I received a certificate in HVACR and shortly thereafter went to work for a company fixing and rebuilding used restaurant equipment. A fascination in computers and all things digital took me from there to working for a company building custom server computers to be sold on eBay. When that company folded I caught a break and got a job working for a company that does orbital welding and pipe bending to fabricate the gas and chemical lines that feed the tools in the semi conductor fabs at Texas Instruments. I worked there for 4 years until I was offered better employment at Charter Telecom. At Charter I went from Tier 1 tech support to Tier 3 tech support in my first 6 months. A year later I was on salary as a Workforce Management Admin. I figured out that while I could do the job it wasn't my passion so I began looking for a position in HVACR again. I found Atosa USA inc. shortly there after and have been with them every since. I have held positions with Atosa USA as Technical Support, Technical Support Lead, Research and Development Engineer, and most recently Training Manager. I take on every new position as a challenge to better myself and grow within the company. I have been described as always searching for the next new challenge.
