of expertise in refrigeration and process HVAC, I hold an HVAC and Refrigeration degree from Mankato Technical College (1976) and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota (1985). Since 2010, I have led Anderson Thermal Consulting, delivering customized engineering solutions that enhance system performance, efficiency, and reliability.
From 2020 to 2025, I served as the Food & Beverage Market Manager at Midwest Mechanical Solutions, where I established a new market division and directed sales, training, and technical support. Prior to that, I was the Refrigeration Market Manager at Baltimore AirCoil (2017–2019) and a Sales Engineer/Manager at Gartner Refrigeration (2008–2019), driving growth and innovation in refrigeration technologies.
With a deep background in critical process air handling solutions, I played a pivotal role in the development and launch of the ACUair Hygienic Air Handling line for Weather-Rite, a respected leader in the HVAC industry. From 2000 to 2008, I served as Vice President of Sales at Phoenix Air Systems, where I was instrumental in scaling the company into an eight-figure business. Additionally, I led the team that founded Phoenix Air Systems, transforming it from a concept into a major industry player.
My expertise spans product development, technical innovation, and compliance with industry standards, ensuring the delivery of high-performance, hygienic air solutions for diverse applications. Following the acquisition of Weather-Rite by Johnson Controls, our contributions continue to shape the future of air quality and environmental control solutions.
As a licensed Professional Engineer in four states, I specialize in consulting, system design, and optimizing refrigeration and HVAC performance, helping businesses achieve operational excellence and energy efficiency.
