About

With starting out in a family business helping my father build Air Compressors by bringing in receiver tanks, pumps, motors, and all the other components that were needed, I quickly learned what the basics were of compressed air and why compressed air is a vital need in manufacturing. Ok, so that was when I was 7 years old. After completing school, I skipped college and went directly to work installing Air Compressors, Piping Systems, Electrical, and all other components that made up a compressed air system. After installing, literally hundreds, of Air Compressors, Air Treatment Equipment, and miles and miles of compressed air piping, I now play a role in our family operated business of making sure things happen for our customers! I may not exactly do the physical work anymore, although, if in an emergency I had to I would, I ensure that our customers receive the quality of work and satisfaction that they deserve. Now, the service industry on Air Compressor equipment is a challenging one, and problems always arise, but Fluid-Aire Dynamics is dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction 100% of the time, and I am there to ensure that is the case.
