In this episode of Going With the Flow, Lucas sits down with Chris Nowak, an HVAC technician from Buffalo who recently merged his family business, Nowak HVAC, with Cellino. Growing up across the street from the Cellino family, with both fathers working in the trades, Chris was immersed in hands-on learning from an early age. He shares stories of summers spent working with his dad, the leap into running his own company in Western New York, and the challenges of wearing every hat, from technician to office manager. Chris and Lucas talk about the differences between small business life and joining a structured Buffalo HVAC team, why finished basements test every tech’s patience, and how the transition to Cellino has improved both his work-life balance and his pickleball game.
