AAON Controls is the wholly owned provider of control systems for AAON’s array of semi-custom commercial HVAC equipment including chillers, packaged units and split systems, air source and water source heat pumps and a variety of customer add-ons. As engineering manager for this group, I lead a diverse team of talented engineers responsible for designing, developing, maintaining and customizing all these control systems. I interact with sales, marketing, mechanical and product engineering, supply chain, and customer support to guide my team in designing the best, cost effect controls for our equipment. I lead by example, and I expect, appreciate and reward creative and self-motivated talent on my team. I strive for a team that is excited to make new accomplishments and revel with them in the fruit of those accomplishments.

Mentor and lead engineering teams in software development projects.Design and develop next generation HVAC control and monitoring systems.Generate tools and libraries to make team development tasks more productive.Guide procedure development to assure consistency and quality in new developments.Research and development requires balancing the requirements set forth by marketing with practical product development, sensitive to costs and manufacturing. Mentoring other engineers while being cognizant of this balance requires a recognition of capabilities and methodologies that will be accepted by peers and lead to successful product development.
