Jesse Fairall

CES (Chief Executive Son)

My parents owned an HVAC company, and growing up, I worked alongside my brother to help the family business. I remember the thrill of finally getting my driver’s license and using product delivery to cruise the neighborhood.

After I received my Master’s in oil and gas in Central Asia, I worked in energy infrastructure and long-range planning. My decades-long career included management for the Defense Intelligence Agency and Royal Dutch Shell.

As I developed my expertise in long-term planning and delivering balanced, research-based recommendations to clients, I never forgot the pleasure of delivering immediate results to my parents’ clients. I left government and corporate life to return to my small business roots, founding Zephyr Environmental Solutions in 2014.

Today, I’m passionate about delivering progressive, intelligent, best-in-class solutions to our clients. I also run and ride motorcycles, owning two but wanting so many more.

I grew up and currently still live in Waynesboro. Growing up, I always thought I would do heating and air work with my dad, so I completed the HVAC program at Valley Career and Technical Center during high school. After graduation, I joined Zephyr and continue to practice the skills I learned at Valley. Now, everyday, I learn new skills to help our clients and build the career I want.
