" I started my HVAC career at a young age going to work with my uncle and grandpa. I have achieved multiple certifications with DPOR that include Master HVAC, Master Electrician, and Master Gasfitter. After working at several different companies in the industry. I decided I wanted to create something different. I wanted to create a company with a brand. I also wanted to cultivate an environment where people want to work, with benefits, 401K and payroll deductions, which is not something you see a lot in the trades. I also like to welcome the younger generation to explore options in the trades,

 which is not something I experienced as a younger man. I can't say enough about the team we have here at Highlands, they all work hard and are very skilled in what they do."

"I began my construction career as a carpenter's helper working for a friend's dad. I worked as a carpenter off and on for 10 years and even dabbled in roofing and masonry. I have been working at Highland's Air Conditioning for the last three years and I love it."

"Although I have grown up around numerous family members in the this field, this is my first job in the industry. Initially, I considered going into the medical field and working at Highlands during the summer. I now have decided to shift my educational focus to HVAC/Refrigeration. I can honestly say I feel I am where I am supposed to be here at Highlands AC."  

"Over the course of my 20 year career, I have worked as apprentice, service technician, and lead service technician, technical service agent, and distribution branch manager. I earned my HVAC Service Technician Certification and EPA Universal 608 certification. I have continued my education with ongoing trainings provided by leading refrigeration manufacturers across the country gaining valuable experience and becoming an expert in this trade. I joined Highlands in 2022 as Operations/ Service Manager. I really enjoy working directly with customers and other HVAC professionals and I hope to work towards further advancing the trade."

" I started out at Virginia Highlands Community College and finshed with a two year degree in HVAC. I worked as a service tech helper then a service tech for another company for about two and a half years. Now, I am at Highlands Air Conditioning. I really like it here."  

"My name is Trent, I am currenlty enrolled at Virginia Highlands in the Electrical Program. I have learned a great deal being a helper here at Highlands. There is just something about hands on experience that school can't teach you! Everyone here is very knowledgeable and they want to help you succeed." 

"I graduated from North East State and have dabbled in a little bit of everything. I've been working at Highlands Air Conditioning since 2019, we have really grown over the last few years and I look forward to watching it grow from the years to come. "
