Expert Introduction: Brad Van Surksum
Brad grew up on a small farm in Iowa and handled a lot of grain the old-fashioned way (with a grain shovel) before computers took over his life. Over the years, he's worked with HVAC controls and business processes, and currently enjoys working with industrial clients as a solution finder.
