Man About Town Podcast - Mark Souza

This week on the Manteca Podcast, a 3rd generation HVAC specialist, and to hear the story told back to me, my guest was in the local Manteca area family heating and air business. By the time he was old enough to make decisions in life, he was leaving this town Manteca to get away from the family business and heating and air, it was all he knew from a young age. So, this Manteca patriot decided at the time, which was around the 9/11 attack that he wanted to go to college. The way to do that inexpensively was to do it, by entering the Armed Forces and that is where the Air Force grabs a young Manteca man headed for a new career in the military..  Mark was headed for a new career, that was in the nuclear missile silos in Cheyenne Wyoming, the job? HVAC / Heating and Air Conditioning, you heard me right.  Mr. "I’m tired of Manteca and I’m tired of HVAC' goes into the military…  That is where he had an epiphany and that was to go with what you know and to appreciate what he had learned at home and what he was learning in the military..  After his service Mark comes home and ends up at some point carrying on the family name that has grown to be such a big name in the Manteca and Ripon area over multiple decades in the HVAC trade.  From his grandpa, Tony to his uncle and dad, Tony and Mark Sr. this MHS graduate, last name Souza, has built a very successful heating and air business continuing the family legacy and this week he’s on my show..
