Growing up on a farm in a small town, I began my career as a maintenance technician right after high school. Knowing that this was my calling, I enlisted in the Air Force to learn the HVAC trade. After completing my military service, I started my professional journey as a service technician in Springfield, MO in 1993. In 2007, I had the opportunity to become an HVAC Service Manager and have held similar positions ever since. My greatest joy is helping people, whether it's solving comfort issues for clients or mentoring young technicians starting their careers in the trade. During my time off, I enjoy spending time with my family or being outdoors on the lake.

Barry has been a lifelong resident of the Springfield, MO area and a long-time friend of Garen. With over 25 years of experience in customer service and business management, Barry brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the All Klear team, which he joined in May 2020. While his career has been diverse, Barry finds the most joy in hands-on work. In his spare time, he enjoys spending quality time with his wife and son.

Since joining the company in 2016 as a dispatcher, I have played a vital role in ensuring efficient operations for our plumbing, HVAC, and electrical services. Outside of work, I cherish moments with my family, especially my granddaughter, who brings endless joy to my life. When I'm not working or spending time with my loved ones, you'll find me savoring delicious tacos and enjoying a refreshing mimosa, two of my favorite pastimes.

With over 20 years of experience in the electrical field, Daniel has a comprehensive background in residential and commercial service work, as well as new construction.

Meet Josh, our experienced HVAC Manager who brings over 30 years of expertise to the All Klear team.

A Nixa native, Chris brings extensive HVAC expertise and top-tier customer service experience to the All Klear team.

He’s also a proud dog lover, with one pup in training to be his future duck-hunting partner. His dedication, knowledge, and friendly personality make him a trusted professional and a valued part of our team!

Hey there, I'm Karl! As All Klears official mascot, I may not be fixing furnaces or rewiring panels, but I'm always working hard to bring energy, fun, and big smiles. You'll usually find me hanging out at community events, cheering on the team, and making new friends (selfies always welcome). When I'm not out and about, I love perfecting my high-fives, practicing my dance moves, and of course, sneaking in a snack or two. (Being a mascot is hard work, after all!) If you see me around, don't be shy- come say hi! I'm always up for a photo or a fist bump. Can't wait to meet you!
