I have been writing about HVAC contractors for almost 10 years, getting inside their heads and learning how they run their businesses. I have talked with thousands of owners and managers and shared their stories with the NEWS’ readers - with the intention of helping everyone to improve his or her business model and become more profitable.

In my blog, I will look at some obvious and not-so-obvious ways to improve the bottom line, from examples both inside and outside the HVAC trade. Many times a simple or obscure news story will start a chemical reaction in my brain and, like the old V-8 commercial, I will slap my forehead and jar a few ideas loose (or get a tremendous headache). If you like learning about new ideas that you could integrate into your business, then you will enjoy reading my blog. If you like what you read (or if you don’t), I am always interested in what you think.
