“Berg Enterprises was founded in 1974 by Dick & Kitty Berg.
”

“Forgoing a formal high school education, Dick followed his father into the HVAC industry at the age of 14. He met his bride in Phoenix, and they moved south to complete a Nogales subdivision for his employer in 1970. Then in 1974, they founded their own residential HVAC company in the San Pedro River Valley.”

“For three decades, Dick and Kitty would grow annual revenues to over $2M across Cochise County and Ft. Huachuca. Prior to their deaths in 2002 and 2013 respectively, they put food on the table and made an indelible impact on the community.”

“In 2002, Dick and Kitty’s children took over operations and each assumed 1/3 equity control in 2013.
”

“As Treasurer, Kathi Johnston managed all financial aspects of the company including A/R, A/P, payroll, general ledger, tax, and insurance, which she still does today. She started at Berg’s in 1981.”

“Rick Berg started with his father in 1975. As President, he built the residential division into a consistently profitable $2M business. He continues to advise the leadership of this business today between time spent team roping in arenas across the southwest. ”

“As Vice President, Mark Berg designed and ran the commercial travel effort, positioning Berg’s at the transom of 8-figure revenue. He retired in 2022, after a storied 44 years in the HVAC industry. ”

“Kathi’s husband, Charley Johnston, spent 40+ years as an HVAC/R master technician at Berg’s. He worked on DoD contracts across the US, Kosovo, Jordan, and Iraq in the years between. He’s currently a technical advisor to the executive leadership team at Berg’s.”

“In 2022, Dick and Kitty’s grandson Tyler assumed operational control of the family business.”

“Tyler grew up in Bisbee and spent his early years riding around with his grandfather. He started working at Berg’s when it was (basically) legal and held various low-man roles in the shop and field.

In early 2021, Tyler began advising his family on a turnaround plan. His aim was to modernize operational processes, establish clear financial reporting, advance the sales pipeline, complete challenging legacy projects, and activate human capital. He acquired the company in September of 2022 and has been serving as CEO since.
