About Us

 

Jeff , Casey , Josh,  Brandon & Kyle 
October 2005 

We are forever grateful to these special young men who generously gave up their time & energy 
to help Chris start his business! They always had a smile on their face, 
even at the end of a very long, hard day of work!

 

Company History: In May of 2005, with the help of friends and family, Chris made the big jump from corporate life to starting his own business. With over 30 years experience in commercial kitchen design and sales, he understands how restaurants everywhere are experiencing shrinking bottom-lines due to high overhead cost. So with the opportunity to work more closely with customers he enjoys sharing his expertise to help restaurateurs find ways to save money on operating expenses, equipment purchases and energy/labor strategies.

Over the past six years the company has continued to grow and expand to meet customer needs.

Brian moonlights as a rock star with his Jimmy Buffet Tribute Band 
"Rum Runners".

Our Service Manager Brian Davern, has over 20 years experience in installation and repair service. During the day he helps keep local restaurants running and his bigger job is keeping Chris clam. 

We are lucky to have him as an important member of our team, as he always has a way of keeping Chris smiling. Occasionally,  Brian will  convince Chris to play hooky to go skiing or boating. And Chris keeps Brian smiling with their weekly Beer Thursday, the guys night out! A tiny reward for a week of hard work . 

Now, if we could just remember to have the coffee made, before Brian arrives in the morning, all would be right with the world!

After a long, hard week at work, there is nothing is better then spending the weekend on the boat with friends and family. You may even find Chris turning off his cell phone just long enough to watch the sunset while enjoying a cold one. With a couple of nights on the boat, Chris's batteries are recharged and he's ready for another rocker of a week!
