HPAC: Let's start by having you share your boiler industry background with our readers. I received a Mechanical Engineering degree from the Milwaukee School of Engineering in 1973 and began my boiler industry career at Cleaver Brooks as an R&D engineer. In my 27 years at Cleaver Brooks, I held various technical positions and eventually became the Director of Engineering for my last 13 years. My departure came about due to a great opportunity at Webster Engineering (a burner manufacturer) where I served as Director of Engineering for 11 years until I retired and began consulting.
