HVAC Hall of Experience: The Good, the Bad, and the Teachable

Celebrate 95 years of ASHRAE SoCal excellence as we recognize our past presidents and the legacy they’ve built. Join us for an evening of appreciation, connection, and forward-looking conversation!

HVAC Wall of Shame and Fame; A Picture Stroll Through the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

This “Wall of Shame” presentation is a picture stroll through the good, bad and ugly of HVAC things that Mike has seen over the years. As with so many things in life, some are funny, some are not, but they will be the sorts of things that can spur conversation. Mike is not afraid to express an opinion, and the presentation will not be dull!
