From Store Aisles to Roof-Top Runs: My Journey Building HDS

Licensed HVAC/R contractor & former grocery-store facilities director, now guiding regional retailers to run safer, leaner, and more energy-efficient operations.

I spent 18 years inside supermarkets—first turning wrenches on rack systems, later overseeing $25 M in construction and maintenance budgets for 70‑plus stores. The front‑row view of product‑loss, energy waste and after‑hours emergencies shaped how I manage facilities today.
