Travis Crawford

Hi, my name is Travis Crawford, and you should be able to get to know me before I get to know you.  You know how some things are just meant to be.  I feel that way about this business.  When I was 16 years old I had a 1988 Chevy Blazer.  It was an awesome vehicle until one day, the brakes started to screech.  As a young man, I did not have the money to pay a mechanic to fix it.  I also did not know how to change the brakes myself.  I was in luck.  My girlfriend’s dad (at the time) dragged me off to NAPA auto parts, got the brakes, and showed me how to fix the car.  It was satisfying.  Then he looked at me and said, “Now you owe me a favor”.  The next day, I helped him with replacing an air conditioning unit.  I worked for him and several other jobs for the next few years.

But getting into Home Services was not a straight path.  My dad worked in corporate America, so naturally, he wanted me to do something similar.  I went and got a job working for First Union Bank in the call center. That lasted about 3 weeks.  

When I was around 20 years old, I had the opportunity to join a small HVAC company as a selling technician.  Turns out I was good at it.   Later I joined Environmental Services of Charlotte  to help them start their residential division.  I worked there for 5 years and to this day I consider David Bowles (The owner) as one of mentors.  I learned a lot from David and we are still in touch to this day.
