What's up? I'm Tommy. I own and operate an HVAC business out of Nebraska. So we get both hot and cold weather throughout the year. This is very good because out here we get to work on both heating and cooling systems. There is a lot of equipment out there. I haven't touched much industrial but I have worked on equipment as small as a little fridge up to cooling towers, loop systems, etc.. I don;t know everything about HVAC because it is a constantly evolving industry. However, I do know the basics like I'm Kobe and am willing to teach them to help home owners, maintenance, people interested in learning the trade, or just someone who is trying to learn something new. I have a very unique and wild background that I have honed all categories into one hobby. I do every little part of this business from the cleaning to making the deals. I want to make an impact in my community by showing people you don't have to go the corporate route to make it in life. It's always best to find your passion, see it in your brain, believe in it whole heartedly, then take action. Now for the life part. I am going to be completely transparent with you guys. I have nothing to hide and maybe it will inspire one other person. I started off my working career at Finish Line selling athletic shoes. I was so in love with this job. I didn't have much coming up and all I wanted was some black nike socks. Getting this job gave me that. I was 16 at the time and life was great. I was liked by a lot of people especially the girls, I was a pretty good athlete, healthy, just overall on a good path. Graduated high school turned down a couple scholarships out of state to stay home. I walked on to the team and the first year went really well. Staying in town can be a dangerous move. Turned out to not be a smart decision. My ego exploded and I started partying like a rockstar. This was the beginning of the end of a very dark chapter in my life. I was still working at Finish Line and slowly moving up the ranks. I ended up quitting because I was planning on transferring to a different college. Turns out I didn''t it was just the party favors giving me false hope. I ended up at Champs Sports and quickly went from associate to store manager all while still partying. As a 19-20 year old being given the keys to a whole retail store will boost your ego. Mine exploded even more. My habits got worse and so did my decision making. Ended up having to quit there. I then ended up in the logistics world. Quickly adapted to that moved up the ranks and that damn ego again. So now I have accumulated a variety of skills like business operations, administration, sales, customer service, profit margins, reading reports, how to price and set goals, marketing, dispatching, planning. I had all these skills but was not using them properly at all. My habits took over for most of my 20's. They finally got me around 25-26 years old. I got arrested. This was my rock bottom moment. This is where that ending turned in to a beginning. I promised myself never again and started cutting habits. It is not easy start but all you have to do is get a little momentum every day. Just a tiny amount. I got very lucky though my charges got dropped to way less charges. I got hired at a corporate HVAC company as a dispatcher. Did that for about 6 months and was not making enough money to get a place. I asked the service manager how to become a tech. I took basic electrical and refrigeration theory. I got myself epa certified so I can buy and handle refrigerant. I was off to the races. I'd love to sit here and say the rest I did on my own but I didn't. The techs that pushed me to get certified and become a tech helped me tremendously. I will always be grateful to them. They saved my life in a way. That's respect. I worked and studied for countless hours. Im talking llllonnggg days 12-18 hours just pushing it.... Two years ago was the now and never moment. I jumped and here we are..... Was a pretty long post and I spent a lot about personal things but you guys need to know who you're riding with on this. I don't quit, losses aren't real they're lessons, and always bet on yourself.
