Jake Ruse | Commercial HVAC Estimator | MBA | Former Educator | Sales Professional
💼 I’m currently a Service Estimator at Texas AirSystems, where I specialize in pricing, project coordination, and client solutions in the commercial HVAC industry. With a strong focus on systems analysis, scope development, and technical quoting, I help streamline service and equipment replacement projects from start to finish.
🎓 I hold an MBA, giving me a strategic edge in operations, business development, and client engagement. I’ve built a career at the intersection of technical insight, strong communication, and practical business execution.

Teaching & Coaching: With over a decade of teaching and behavior specialist experience, I bring strong leadership, problem-solving, and people management skills to the table.
Customer Service & Wine Sales: I’ve also worked in the hospitality industry, including wine sales and wine bar operations, where I learned how to deliver exceptional client experiences and upsell high-value products through storytelling and connection.
🔧 My skill set is ideal for:
HVAC service sales support
Project pricing and estimating
Customer/client onboarding and retention
Scope of work development
Educational/training-based consulting
B2B relationship management
