However, it was only a few years ago that I realized I could combine my interests in writing, allergies, and heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment
I guess that for most of my life I had secretly enjoyed writing. But, it was a surprise to me when I found out that I’m fairly good at it. Looking back I have always been complimented in this area of life. The thing is, there are only certain topics that I want to write about. I’m not the sort of writer who can be given a research topic and enjoy the process of developing a full book about it. Specifically, I am most interested in home repairs and heating, cooling, and ventilation solutions as they relate to respiratory health and allergy control. This is definitely because I come from a long line of heating, cooling, and air quality control specialists… and a long line of allergy sufferers. I know everything there is to know about modern indoor air temperature control units, indoor air quality, and HVAC maintenance from my HVAC family members. I know everything there is to know about allergy management from my own sniffly nose and chronic coughing. That being said, I have been working in the heating, cooling, and ventilation field for half of my life, and I know a great deal about treating indoor air to remove allergens. However, it was only a few years ago that I realized I could combine my interests in writing, allergies, and heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment. One of my favorite allergy publications put out a call for writers with unique perspectives – apparently they don’t have many air quality control technicians vying for the job, because they immediately hired me. Now I’m a writer, HVAC tech, and allergy warrior, all in one.
