HVAC Site Coordinator: Ralph
Ralph is our Heating Manager and has been with G.M. Mechanical since 2013! He is a journeyman sheet metal mechanic with over 30 years of experience in the trade! The one thing I want to mention about Ralph is that he isn't your typical "installer"” He cares about every job he does, trying to make it functional and aesthetically pleasing. He does excellent fabrication work in the shop, which shows the difference having properly installed ductwork can make on proper airflow!
He lives in High River with his wife but has been there for over 20 years. He has four kids who all grew up in the area as well.
He states that his favourite part of his job is " the variety of jobs to be done. No job is exactly the same, and every job is a new learning experience."
One thing I had to ask my employees if only for my own benefit, was, "Why G.M. Mechanical?" I got this from Ralph: "It is a local company, and they are a good group of guys to work with." Ralph is a great team member who can take a joke just as well as he can give it, as you can see in the second picture. He definitely helps the morale of other guys here.
His main hobby is golfing which I know he is much better at than I am! I truly think he likes when he has to travel to a job since he gets to try out a new golf course.
When he's not busy helping us provide our expert heating services in High River, you may still see Ralph around town as he is part of the High River Alliance Church, an active member of the High River Kinsmen Club and volunteers his time as the equipment manager for the High River Junior B Flyers.
Ralph is another guy who worked for G.M. Mechanical many years ago and returned. Back then, the poor guy even had me as a "helper" on some jobs, and at that age, I knew he'd say that I wasn't much help at all (and he'd be right). He ran his own HVAC company until we eventually bought him out to bring him back into the fold.
