EXPERIENCE WITH EAB

"Our work is not something that can be seen, but I enjoy walking through a building that we have balanced and not noticing the space conditions. This means the building is controlled to the temperature setpoint, is not drafty, not noisy and you are just comfortable and unaware of the HVAC system."

More About Kane

More About

Which of these core values (Integrity, Quality, Consistency and Teamwork) do you most identify with, and what does it mean to you?

I would say quality. We treat every project, as if we were the owner of the facility. I always ask myself ,“would I do this if this were my home?”

What is your ideal room temperature, and why?

74 degrees seems to allow for the wearing of normal clothing and maintains comfort whether sedentary or engaged in light activity.

What is your absolute favorite thing about working for EAB?

What did you want to be when you were little?

I wanted to be a marine biologist or a rancher. As a young child I was always catching big black ants, lizards, frogs, snakes, and fish. Basically, if it moved and I saw it, it was coming home with me. My father grew up in Rockport, Texas directly across the street from the bay so I was exposed to the water at an early age when we would visit my grandparents. I was always in the water trying to catch something, even in the winter. I do not know how many times I “accidently” fell in the water and got an ear full from my mother for being wet or muddy. By the way, looking back, I think my poor mother should be nominated for sainthood for putting up with me.

What do you like to do on your days off?

I enjoy being outdoors, tending to my reef aquariums or just relaxing.
