Field experience. A willingness to lend a hand. Dad mode after hours.
Jason works in outside service sales at NTD Mechanical, but his experience extends beyond the sales side of the business. Before meeting with building owners and facility managers about maintenance, service, and replacement needs, he worked as an installer and a service technician. His background also includes management and operations, giving him several different perspectives on the same work.
He understands the conversation about the equipment because he has also been the person working on it. That connection between knowing the business and doing the work was part of what drew him to NTD.
During his interview, Jason noticed how involved the leadership team was. They understood the company’s day-to-day operations because they had been part of building it. For someone whose own career had taken him between the field and the office, that stood out.
After joining, he noticed something else: people were willing to help each other. Questions did not have to stay unanswered, and asking for direction did not feel like an inconvenience. Someone was willing to lend a hand or help him find the right person.
That suited Jason. He likes having more than one way to be useful.
Clocked In
Clocked in, Jason helps building owners and facility managers think through the care of their HVAC equipment. Preventive maintenance is a central part of that work, along with helping coordinate service or replacement when the equipment calls for it.
His field experience shapes what he pays attention to. Measurements matter. Installation details matter. The smaller things that affect how equipment can be serviced or replaced deserve a closer look.
As he puts it, “I look for those small details that really matter in the big picture.”
That is a useful perspective to bring into a service conversation. Understanding the work means looking beyond the immediate request and considering what will be involved in carrying it out.
Jason also appreciates the range of equipment NTD works with. The company’s construction and service teams encounter everything from larger systems serving school auditoriums and gyms to smaller ductless units serving individual spaces such as server rooms. He sees that range as a strength when talking with customers about their maintenance needs.
Different buildings bring different equipment. He likes being part of a team familiar with more than one version of the job.
And while outside service sales is his role, Jason does not see that as a reason to stop being hands-on.
He describes being willing to help unload equipment, lend a hand with an installation, or change filters when needed, then turn his attention back to a service contract. His background gives him options, and he wants to contribute wherever that experience is useful.
A job title tells people what you do. It does not have to be the complete list of ways you can help.
Clocked Out
Clocked out, Jason has another title waiting for him.
Dad.
His daughter wants to know whether he will play Roblox. His son’s favorite word is “Dad,” and there is no shortage of opportunities to use it when he walks through the door. Jason describes the transition from work to home as going straight into “dad mode.”
Outside service sales is a perfectly respectable job title. At home, the shorter one gets his attention.
When he has time outdoors, Jason enjoys disc golf. His explanation for choosing it over traditional golf is refreshingly straightforward: “I’m horrible at regular golf. So I play disc golf.”
No elaborate origin story. Just an honest assessment and a different kind of golf.
Growing up in East Texas gave Jason an appreciation for being outside. Lakes, camping, and time away from the usual noise are how he likes to recharge. He describes the outdoors as revitalizing, whether that means a trip to the water or a few days spent camping.
As for the tent-versus-RV debate, he is comfortable with both.
He enjoys tent camping, but he also recognizes that a Texas day approaching 100 degrees can change the definition of a relaxing getaway. Sometimes, the RV is the better choice.
An HVAC professional appreciating a little climate control on vacation seems reasonable.
Arkansas is another favorite place to camp, particularly the Ouachita Forest. For Jason, the appeal is the combination of mountains, valleys, rivers, and lakes—and the chance to disconnect.
He describes it as a place to enjoy yourself “without the buzz of the world being around you.”
It is a different pace from equipment conversations and service planning, and that is part of the appeal.
At NTD, Jason brings practical experience and a willingness to put it to use. Outside work, he makes room for his kids, a round of disc golf, and the kind of trip where the surroundings are more interesting than the screen.
Unless the screen has Roblox on it. Dad has been requested.
