In the early 1980’s Richard “Bo” Bulmanski and Fred Menth joined forces to start their own A/C company and named it Air Command. They served Pinellas County with integrity for more than 40 years. They made the decision to sell the business in the early 2000’s. Bo and Fred spent the next several years helping other HVAC business owners get established and build their companies. After 40 years of owning a successful business, they knew that the key to business was “old fashioned” American business practices: honesty, hard work, showing up early, staying late and working weekends.

It was during this time that they met Shawn Crews. Bo and Shawn became friends and Bo took Shawn underwing. Bo could see that Shawn’s work ethic, unwavering core values and vision for what he wanted out of his future was more than enough for Shawn to strike out on his own. Bo lovingly pushed Shawn to obtain his own license and start his own company. Shawn’s company would become known as Mechanical A/C Designs, LLC est. in 2018. Little did Shawn know that his mentorship with Bo wasn’t over.
