Mike started out his HVACR career in the early ‘90’s by attending Worcester Technical Institute where he received a certificate in HVACR. He spent his first five years in the HVACR industry doing service and installation. Starting off doing residential service and installation, he then moved onto commercial and industrial service. Mike then got the opportunity to work in the engineering field as a HVAC designer where he designed and specified equipment for many different types of buildings such as hospitals, labs and educational. Mike also has held a position as a sales engineer for a large mechanical contractor before returning to his service roots. After almost fifteen years in the trade he decided to start educating the HVACR technicians of tomorrow. In 2006 Mike took his first job as a vocational instructor teaching HVACR at the beautiful state of the art Worcester Technical High School. Aside from teaching the high school grade levels, he also teaches various courses in night school where he preps and refreshes veteran service technicians.

Mike is excited about being a part of the HVACReducation.net team, and looks forward to helping your endeavor into a promising career.
