About five years ago, I was handed the keys to this media machine we call Engineered Systems.
At that point, I’d accrued more than seven years of industry experience, serving as managing editor and senior editor for the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration NEWS (ACHR NEWS), a weekly (at the time) B2B publication focused on the HVAC contracting trade. Through these adventures, combined with five years served as a community reporter, my confidence as a journalist soared fairly high. Though, I must admit, as editor-in-chief of Engineered Systems, I was a little scared. I’d never facilitated a publication by myself. And, perhaps even more frightening, never had I worked directly with mechanical engineers.
