HVAC Company Owner Becomes a Philanthropist

HVAC Company Owner Becomes a Philanthropist

I remember when I was younger and still learning basic vocabulary that I confused the words philanderer and philanthropist. I could never understand when people in the news would say they wanted to become successful so they could then become philanthropists. I mean, why would they tell everyone about that?! Anyway, now that I know the difference, I am always looking up to philanthropists, and that is especially true when the philanthropist stats out in humble circumstances and has enough success that he is then able to help others. It is one thing to be born into money, and it is an entire other thing to become successful in your own right. One example of such a good person is a local HVAC company owner. This guy was born to just regular folks – a housewife, and a city employee. In fact, when he was graduating from high school, he told his parents he wanted to learn HVAC at a trade school, and they had a fit. They wanted him to go to college and get a “good job,” but our HVAC friend was adamant. They relented, and he enrolled in the HVAC program at the nearby vocational school. The tuition was miniscule compared to a regular college, so the parents were happy about that. The kid worked hard in heating and cooling school, and he got the best grades in his classes. He worked as an apprentice to a man who owned a heating and cooling company, as well. In about 18 months, he completed the a/c program and got certified as a heating and cooling technician by the state. Eventually, he opened his own shop, grew and grew, and grew his wealth, too. He now shares his HVAC fortune with others and is a true philanthropist.
