I relocated back to Montana in June of 1991 and went to work for Williams Plumbing and Heating. I went thru the State Apprentiship program and first obtained my Journeymans licensure and finally my Masters. I obtained much knowledge in this time period from working on residential to commercial including motels, hospitals, restaurants and manufacturing plants. I worked closely with all other trades and gained a great base for the understanding of their duties.

I then transferred to the R&D division where we built lab equipment, that thru air flowing thru heap units we could achieve different atmospheric pressures for varying research needs. This led to the development of modular labs that could be moved to various sites around the country which connected to host utilities for operation. All atmospheric conditions could be maintained and monitored thru these systems.
