I completed the HVACR program at Chattanooga State Community College in 2022 and participated in the nationwide SkillsUSA HVAC postsecondary competition. I became NATE certified for heat pump and AC in 2022. These were great experiences that fueled a passion for HVAC service, and I have met many outstanding instructors and technicians since then.

The SkillsUSA competition was challenging, especially at the national event. I won the state event and represented Tennessee in the national event. There were many great figures from companies around the industry that helped create a stage for new technicians to be tested and judged in Atlanta, GA. I placed 13th out of 28 talented technicians from other states. I had a great time, and it was good experience.

Since beginning HVAC school and work in 2021, I have had the chance to meet and engage with many great professionals around the local area. There is a community of people in different positions that make it possible to install and service air conditioning equipment.

My name is Thomas, and I hope I can help! I love most animals so I won’t mind if your dogs jump for attention. Seriously, my turd herd is a handful, but they are a good bunch of mutts that are well spoiled. I love fish too, so if you have a fish tank I’d love to check that out! I have 4 tanks at the moment. The largest tank is 75 gallons.

Check out some of these photos from the 2022 competitions, and thank you for viewing this page! Credit for taking those pictures is to my night class instructor, I appreciate you!
