In 1993 Troy was hired by J-mac Radiator to build an A/C parts distributor program, and was soon promoted as general manager. By 2003, business had grown to 13 locations in 8 different states. Keys to success were attributed to development of one of the 1st interfaced electronic catalogs, and logistics with the “Do It Right The 1st Time” compressor kits.
