About Me

I am the proud owner of Ascent Heating and Cooling, a business deeply rooted in my personal journey of recovery. As a recovering alcoholic, I actively work to heal the trauma that once kept me trapped in addiction. Recovery, for me, means embracing a new way of living—one grounded in integrity, honesty, and a commitment to personal growth. These principles guide my life and have become the foundation of how I run my business.

At Ascent, we are more than an HVAC company. We are a team of highly skilled and experienced technicians who believe in doing what’s right for our customers every time. When I started Ascent after quitting drinking, my goal was to create a better workplace for employees, restore integrity to the HVAC industry, and use this platform to give back to those who need support in their recovery journey.

That’s why, starting in 2025, 1% of Ascent’s sales will go directly toward helping others in recovery. This initiative is more than just a gesture—it’s a commitment to creating a meaningful impact and offering hope to those who are struggling. At Ascent Heating and Cooling, we are driven by a mission to not only provide exceptional service but also to make a difference in the lives of our employees, customers, and the wider community. It’s time to give back, one step at a time
