Taking a breather

By Michael McConnell
March 24, 2015

It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for me. I recently attended the Mechanical Contractors Association of America's annual conference in Hawaii (It was rainy but I don't expect any sympathy) as well as the Air Conditioning Contractors of America’s conference near Dallas.

Switching time zones so much has made it hard to sleep at times, but I am happy to say that I’m back in the SNIPS offices for a while.

It’s always great to talk to readers and find out how their businesses are doing. I am pleased to say many HVAC construction and sheet metal works contractors say their companies are doing well – a trend they expect to continue.

How is your company doing?
