Located in Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, Mr. Aguilar’s company offers small-batch, freshly roasted to order products only, including whole bean, ground and pods options.
Before launching his coffee business, Mr. Aguilar concluded his professional journey in the HVAC sector as a sales specialist at SECCO, where he applied his extensive technical knowledge and customer service skills. Before this role, he served as an installation manager at SECCO, overseeing complex projects and ensuring high standards of artistry across residential and commercial installations. Mr. Aguilar’s leadership was instrumental in maintaining operational efficiency and client satisfaction.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Aguilar held a management position at Vanzandt Plumbing and Heating, where he supervised teams and coordinated large-scale projects. This role allowed him to further develop his expertise in both technical operations and personnel management.
Mr. Aguilar began his professional path as a technician at CACC, where he worked for 15 years. During this foundational period, he gained hands-on experience in commercial HVAC systems, often tackling challenging assignments under demanding conditions. As a technician, Mr. Aguilar became known for his problem-solving abilities. Clients would often express relief upon seeing him arrive, confident that he would resolve issues others could not.
Mr. Aguilar’s educational background includes a high school diploma. After graduation, he initially worked as an electrician wiring apartments and buildings before accepting a maintenance position at the Meyerhoff House in Baltimore, Maryland. There, he received training in air conditioning and discovered a passion for the field. Mr. Aguilar subsequently completed one year of coursework at a technical school focused on HVAC, which laid the foundation for his long-standing career in the industry. His commitment to lifelong learning has been central to his success.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Mr. Aguilar is actively involved in civic life through participation in church activities and volunteer work with various charitable organizations and outreach programs. He has also contributed to local culture through projects such as “Something’s Brewing Near New Bloomfield: Roasted Coffee Beans,” which highlights the growth of specialty coffee in the region.
Throughout his career, Mr. Aguilar has demonstrated expertise in both the HVAC industry and the science of coffee. He has consistently sought out new learning opportunities, continually refining his techniques. Mr. Aguilar’s journey into the coffee business began more than two decades ago when he started roasting coffee for personal enjoyment. Inspired by memories of his father’s efforts to improve U.S. Navy-issued coffee during military service, he experimented with small-batch roasting at home. Encouraged by friends who praised the quality of his brews, he eventually decided to turn this hobby into a business after retiring from HVAC work.
Looking ahead, Mr. Aguilar is committed to growing Shermans Valley Coffee Co. and expanding its local presence while maintaining its status as a family-owned enterprise. He hopes to pass the business on as a legacy for future generations, ensuring its continued success under family stewardship for years to come.
