Mindset expert will provide home service company owners with the tools they need to overcome their reluctance to adopt new technologies
CEO Warrior, a global business training, coaching and implementation organization for service business owners, announced today that its director of sales and marketing, Sandy Papavero, will speak at the AHR Expo in Orlando at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 12.
The conference, an industry-leading convention for HVAC professionals, will be held Feb. 10-12 at the Orange County Convention Center.
Papavero will present “Changing Your Mindset: Don’t Get Left Behind in the Race to Adopt New Technology” in room W312C in the convention center’s west building. Attendees will learn how to overcome their reluctance in adopting new technology so they can improve their customer relationships while still managing labor costs and boosting efficiency.
“Sandy’s not only one of the skilled trades industry’s most knowledgeable business educators, she is also a licensed mindset coach,” said Scott August, CEO of CEO Warrior. “Her training in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and insights into the home service industry make her a leading expert in motivating business owners to make changes. If you are a contractor who is reluctant to adopt the industry’s latest technologies, Sandy’s presentation will provide you with the steps you can take to accept and adopt these advances so you can run your business more effectively.”
The AHR Expo debuted in 1930 as the premier training and networking event for members of the air conditioning, heating and cooling industry. The conference provides HVAC professionals an opportunity to review new products and technologies, learn from industry experts and network with other professionals in their field.
In addition to this speaking engagement, Papavero joins fellow CEO Warrior Jason Noel at the WWETT Show in Indianapolis Feb. 17-20 to discuss creating a revenue mindset. CEO Warrior will also host its Service Business Live event on March 6-7 in Nashville, Tennessee. This event features Papavero, Noel and other CEO Warrior master advisors, and is open to both members and non-members.

New truss plant will focus on wall panels and floor trusses
84 Lumber continues to expand its services in the Mid-Atlantic with the opening of another component plant in Newark, Delaware.
The company’s newest plant, at 10 Aleph Drive, is a 21,113-square-foot building on 3.12 acres. Formerly Warren Truss, 84 Lumber acquired the facility in June 2024 to manufacture wall panels and floor trusses to meet the growing market demand in Delaware, New Jersey, and the greater Philadelphia metro area.
“We now have three locations to service these markets,” said Sean O’Connell, general manager of the New Britain, Newark, and Bloomsburg truss plants. “This includes our facilities in New Britain and the recently opened truss plant in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.”
The plant began operating in January with 10 associates. The company plans to hire a total of 50 associates by 2026.
84 Lumber offers a ladder of opportunity that involves the company’s production manager trainee (PMT) program. The program is designed to prepare an apprentice in the components sector for a production manager position. The 12-month training program prepares the PMT with a mix of on-the-job and classroom training, leadership courses, a Lean Green Belt program, and emerging leadership training. The most current example is Jose Colindres, who completed the PMT program at the company’s Winchester, Virginia facility and was promoted to production manager at Newark. The Newark plant manager, Dylan McDevitt, started as a manager trainee at an 84 Lumber store before transitioning to the company’s New Britain truss plant, working his way through the ranks, and being promoted to his current position.
“84 Lumber has career opportunities for high performers. If you’re willing to commit and do the work, you’ll find a fulfilling, life-long career with us,” said Dylan McDevitt.
