What is the biggest misconception about the industry?

Temporary Climate Control is not something commonly related to the construction industry, resulting in little to no knowledge about what the capabilities are. It is usually only thought of as the solution to keeping job sites warm during the winter months, but there is so much more that can be achieved by proactively planning for climate control during almost every stage of the construction process.

 

What is your biggest current challenge at work?

Because of the limited exposure the industry has had in the construction world, not many have experienced the short- and long-term benefits of climate control for their projects, resulting in denial towards discussion of what we might be able to do for potential clients.

 

What keeps you up at night?

Knowing that so many projects will be victims of post-completion detrimental conditions, due to lack of action when high humidity levels are present, implementation of poorly engineered solutions that have a negative impact on materials and individuals. Knowing that we could provide solutions that, even though seem costly upfront, will save tremendous amounts of money down the road by preventing any sort of remediation/repair required as a consequence of not completing the project under the correct climate conditions.

 

What project is your company most proud of?

We are incredibly proud of every single project we complete. As engineers, we look to provide exact solutions, and in doing so we strive to meet and exceed expectations. This allows the outcome of every project to be an incredibly satisfied customer, who has now acquired a new resource, and learned about something that can't be seen, but affects everything we do day-in and day-out, that "thing" being air.

 

How does your ABC membership help your company?

It exposes our knowledge to an incredible group of people that communicates, looks out for each other's best interest, and helps us be part of a community that constantly generates tangible impacts on society.

 

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Formula 1 driver.

 

Tell us something no one in the industry knows about you.

I was born and raised in Venezuela, and moved to Colorado for my bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, where I had the opportunity to become tri-lingual (English, Spanish, Italian).

 

What do you look forward to each day?

Providing outside-the-box solutions to clients that recognize the need for our engineering.

 

What is your favorite movie or tv show?

My favorite movie is Interstellar

 

What do you do for fun?

Work out, mountain biking, snowboarding, soccer.
