Most conversations at any annual meeting generally wind up being about the lack of people coming into our industry. We are usually talking about the apprentice and journeyman-level personnel, but when you stop and think about it we are also faced with the lack of quality contractor owners entering the trade.
The four men I just mentioned are somewhat of a novelty - second-generation HVAC people who intend to carry on the family name. I know each one of them, and I can assure you that they have what it takes. I guess we can give the credit to their dads (I can say this since I am Ray's dad).
