Experience

1. Regional Sales Director

   Nviriq Inc

   Nov 2025 — Present · TX, US

   As part of NVIRIQ’s founding sales team, I lead the launch and regional growth of our breakthrough thermal collector heat pump technology across the great state of Texas, one of the nation’s largest cooling markets. I work with contractors, engineers, and building owners to deliver a smarter, more efficient, and renewable-assisted approach to commercial comfort.Our patented thermal collectors, variable-speed compressor, variable-speed indoor/outdoor EC fans, and real-time performance analytics enable businesses to lower OPEX with 40% average electricity savings, 40% federal tax credit eligibility, and the lowest lifetime cost of ownership in the category.We officially launch in January 2026 after more than a decade of in-field testing, certifications, and research-backed development. Our flagship system—the Rubicon—is a fully variable packaged heat pump featuring patented thermal collectors, advanced components, system health monitoring, and an unprecedented 7–10 year warranty.Built in the U.S.A, replacement-ready for legacy RTUs, and engineered to disrupt the market, NVIRIQ is redefining what commercial heating and cooling can achieve—and I’m proud to help bring this technology to customers across Texas.
