We all have interests that we develop during our lives. Maybe for you it’s a love of landscaping, for others maybe it’s a sport, or if you’re anything like us, it’s heating. Just like we love working to keep you comfy throughout the year, we also love helping others go after their passions to become experts.
Recently, we wrapped up our “Experts Creating Experts” contest in which we gave away $25,000 to acquire expertise and education in one area you are most passionate about. Entries ranged from lifelong dreams of becoming a chef to developing a line of children’s books to inspire wonderment. The Grand Prize winners, Mike and Jillian, entered to become expert foragers, accumulating wild plants and foods from nature. After being one of five finalists picked from a group of judges, the public voted through Facebook and now, Mike and Jillian are traveling all around New York and Massachusetts to learn with artisan farmers, a dairy farm and even a distillery.
Be sure to look at the video above and follow them on their trip!
We know that heating and cooling probably isn’t everyone’s passion, but it is obviously a passion of ours to give back to communities like Louisville. After all, you have helped make us the heating and cooling experts in this neck of the woods. And for that, we thank you.
Remember them?
Mike and Jillian won $25,000 in Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning’s Experts Creating Experts Contest so they could become expert foragers. Foragers accumulate wild plants and foods from nature.
This fall, they’ll leave for the first stint of their trip. Mike & Jillian will be going around New York and Massachusetts meeting small artisan farmers, visiting the High Lawn Farms Dairy, working at the first legal distillery in the Berkshires since Prohibition and learning about extracts from a company in business for 125 years. They’ll even forage for mushrooms. And we’ll be with them, sharing their adventures with you all of the way.
In January 2016, we’ll head out to California for the second part of their adventure.
