Meet The Team

As Allied Air Conditioning & Heating’s first full-time employee, I’ve been with the company for 42 years and counting. You might call me a real self-starter: I installed my first air conditioner in my first house in 1968. By the time I’d installed systems for several of my neighbors, I realized I’d found my calling. Above all else, I enjoy the challenge of solving HVAC problems for our customers that have stumped our competitors—it’s both personally and professionally fulfilling.

My credentials include a bachelor’s degree in math and physics from North Park University and an MBA from Loyola University. When not in the office, I enjoy snow skiing and have also obtained my certification as a professional ski instructor. I have also been with the Mt. Prospect Fire Department as a volunteer fire fighter for over 25 years, and I enjoy tinkering in my workshop during my free time.

After graduating from the Environmental Technical Institute, I started my career in the HVAC industry. That was 13 satisfying years ago now, and I’ve held roles in both service and sales. I enjoy getting to meet new people on a daily basis—and helping them with their HVAC needs is tremendously satisfying.

When not at work with Allied Air Conditioning & Heating, I enjoy playing hockey on a team in Crystal Lake. I also enjoy cooking as well as spending time with my family: my wife, three children, and our German Shepherd.

My career includes 15 years’ experience as an office manager, the last five of which I’ve spent with the Allied Air Conditioning & Heating team. When not at work, I enjoy attending my kids’ activities, spending time with my family, and traveling to new places.

My career in the HVAC industry spans 25 years. At Allied Air Conditioning & Heating, I have been proud to assist our clients in selecting the best systems for their homes—and families—for over six years. When I’m not on the job, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing golf, and listening to Jimmy Buffett.

As a customer service professional, I’ve worked in HVAC for over seven years. I’ve been with Allied Air Conditioning & Heating for four years.

I spend my time outside of work with my friends and family. I’m especially passionate about spending time outdoors camping, fishing, and training for triathlons.

As part of the Allied team for the past eight years, I enjoy the opportunity to serve my community with 24/7 comfort. I hold an EPA certification as well as have a certificate with the Community Emergency Response Team. During my time off, I enjoy being with my family and spending time with my dog.

I have built a career on helping people. During the first part of my career, I processed insurance claims as part of Allstate’s National Catastrophe Team. I then transitioned to Sears, where I designed, installed, and maintained air compressor systems for all Sears Automotive locations nationwide. In 2016, I joined the Allied Air Conditioning & Heating team. I chose HVAC because I love working with both my hands and my head.

When I’m not at work, I spend time with my family. We are a family of car enthusiasts and love drag racing—even our daughters do!

Working for Allied Air Conditioning & Heating has been a wonderful experience. Although my background is in teaching mathematics at the high school level, I transitioned to my current role in accounts receivable just a few years ago. I enjoy Allied’s office environment, appreciate being able to help customers over the phone, and relish the chance to expand my business knowledge on a daily basis. When I’m not here, I spend my free time with my family of three teenagers. I volunteer at and attend their school and sports activities. I also love working on craft projects.

Growing up, I sweated all summer and froze all winter long. When it came time to choose a career, I vowed “never again!” I’ve happily spent the last 16 years in the HVAC industry and the last seven as part of the Allied Air Conditioning & Heating team.

Outside of my family, my two greatest passions are motorcycles and BBQ. I love spending time with my wife and my two boys, whom I coach in youth football. I also enjoy obstacle course racing with my sons.

A 13-year veteran of the field, I’ve been part of the Allied Air Conditioning & Heating team for the last four years. I focus mainly on boiler systems. I find great joy in working with copper piping and boiler systems because every system is different—and every one presents a challenge to solve.

When I’m not at work, you can find me spending time with my wife and daughter, or playing games and fetch with our dog, Chewy. To stay active, I play fall softball with my friends, cycle, and visit the gym regularly.

I started in the trade at my father’s HVAC shop while I was still in high school. After graduating, my career path took me through a few other jobs, but I ultimately found that I enjoy working in new construction more than anything else. I have been with the Allied Air Conditioning & Heating team now for four years. My other interests including playing hockey, fishing, camping, and playing music.

Became a sheet metal mechanic, and eventually ran my own successful HVAC business. When I sold my business to a local utility company, I joined the Allied Air Conditioning & Heating team. I found at Allied a company with the values I hold, that delivers the very best in HVAC products and services and does right by its customers.

When I’m not here at work, I enjoy fishing, ice hockey, home remodeling projects, and the occasional motorcycle ride. My four grown children live close by, and it’s been my great joy to see them grow, thrive, and move into and through adulthood.

With 15 years in the field and 10 at Allied, I’ve found a world of job satisfaction in working with customers, working with my hands, and working outside. When I’m not on the job, I enjoy taking vacations with my family. I’m also an avid gardener and I enjoy watching and playing sports with my kids.

I chose the HVAC profession because I knew I’d have variety—I like to tackle a different job every day. Doing so keeps work fun.

I’ve spent 14 happy years in the business, the last 12 of them with the Allied Air Conditioning & Heating team.

With a wife and four children, my weekends are busy. I enjoy spending time at the park or taking my kids to play soccer.

After 15 years as part of the Allied Air Conditioning & Heating team, I still enjoy interacting with our customers and knowing I can improve their everyday lives. Like many of my colleagues, I also enjoy working different jobs daily—which I find makes work exciting.

After my workday ends, my greatest joy is coming home to see my children. I love spending time with them and being a part of their daily lives.

I enjoy meeting new clients, and I take great pride in creating solutions for their HVAC needs and exceeding their expectations.

I particularly love designing residential and commercial HVAC systems and have training in repair, installation, design, and service.

My free time outside work is very full with family, church, and outdoor activities. I like to hunt and play golf, but I’m happiest fishing. I find it a wonderful way to relax and calm the mind.

My career in the HVAC industry has been going strong for nearly 35 years. I originally got into HVAC because one of my brothers was in the industry—and the rest is history. I really enjoy the day-to-day work with my coworkers. Most of all, though, I like it when we as a team are able to solve our customers’ problems.

I have been married to my wife, Michelle, for almost 40 years. Our family now includes two children and three grandchildren—with a fourth expected soon. Outdoor activities are my passion. I enjoy hiking, ice skating, cross-country skiing, kayaking, and biking. Community is also important to me: my family has participated in Grant Township’s Christmas ‘Adopt a Family’ for years. We also do charity work with March of Dimes and The Special Olympics.
