In the summer of 1993 I started my apprenticeship in residential HVAC. Early on I knew upgrading existing homes was where I excelled and I have remained focused on this area of our trade.

After spending almost 15 years installing, managing and selling for other major metro Portland HVAC companies, I decided I could do it “better than everybody else” and I dreamt up GreenTech. Early in 2007 I started the company. I keep the tools out for all our projects. Often I step aside to let my co-pilot Abe run the show on a job but even when Abe is the lead I’m still hands on throughout. A big part of the GreenTech brand is the “owner of the company is still onsite” angle. My name is attached to every job.

I spent many years selling systems for large high pressure HVAC outfits and it informed how I come to your house to bid your project. I learned what not to do. A sales visit from me includes no selling. We’ll chat up what you are looking to accomplish, I’ll take notes then I’ll go back and email you my version of how to get you to where you wanna go. I haven’t “sold” a job since 2007, people just hire me.
